BBC Demo at MIX in Bill Gates Keynote - All Avalon All The Time

  • Article

If you were at MIX or watched the webcase, you may have seen the very cool BBC demo in Bill Gates keynote mentioned in this press release.  The press release mentions that the demo was built using WPF, but it wasn't mentioned in the keynote speech.  This is a very cool app and hopefully, we'll have a video of this somewhere online shortly.

    I was there in the audience and it was very slick.

    When I watched it I thought it was WPF app but wasn't it running in a browser?

    Was it a WPF app embedded in a browser or was it a WPF windows app?

    It was most definetly a windows app, all the video ran within the app including the fullscreen videos (apart from the final Media Centre bit).

    I have lost count of the times i watched the baboon video during devving the app.
