Could this be Windows Media Player 11?


The following images were displayed in Tjeerd Hoek's session just a few minutes ago - "PRS319: Building Applications That Look Great in Windows Vista"

WMP11 WMP11

WMP11 Windows Digital Gallery

The last image also shows "Windows Digital Gallery" in the background, which appears to be a new photo management application. :)

One interesting thing to note about both applications is how similar they looks to Windows Explorer! Take a closer look at the third WMP image. Notice the breadcrumb bar and the back/forward buttons for navigation, the different views (tiles, details etc.) and the same search box that's used everywhere else in the system. It's a nice, consistent look and feel.
