The real Office comes to your browser
With al respect to what’s already out there, what I saw in the PDC Keynote demo looked so much better!
Check out this video the hear about the Office Web Applications. Just 9 minutes and you’ll wish it was here today!
It uses HTML+Javascript and also Silverlight when available!
Azure
The Azure Services Platform is what I believe I will talk about most in the future. If you want to find out more, I believe this is the best way:
- Look at this webcast
- Read this whitepaper
I also LOVED the Windows 7 demo. Especially:
- the new desktop and taskbar
- Homegroup
- the ability to mount virtual machines
- Bitlocker for USB drives
- multi touch capabilities at affordable prices (demos on the great HP Touchsmart)
- Windows Key + P to change display mode
- further improved multimonitor. Even via remote desktop!
