Day 1 - x64 Street Marketing and the Keynote...
Just got a whole set of pictures up from the x64 street marketing campaign and the Bill Gates keynote presentation this morning.
The keynote was awesome. I'm not sure if the video is up yet, but when it is, make sure you check it out. There's a lot of very interesting stuff. Gates looked back at the industry's progress over the last two decades, then moved on to 64-bit and multi-core computing with two great demos showing the tremendous benefits of 64-bit in 3D rendering and complex SQL operations. We also had a chance to see the latest Tablet PC's, including an "UltraMobile" device that looked really intriguing. We also got a preview of Longhorn (Builds 5059 and 5060), with some awesome visual effects, and the new information/data organization features like instant-search, stacks, lists etc.
I'll try to post more info on all of this as soon as I get the chance, but the breakout sessions begin in 10 minutes, and I have to get out of here. Until next time, enjoy the pictures. They should keep you busy for a while. ;)
