WinHec coverage on the web

Lots of stuff to read here…just some for the things I noticed:

* All the slide decks. Update: those are apparently the ‘03 decks. The ‘04 papers are here. Thanks to Sam. * Jon Udell on web services and discovery – some people are upset because this is not Rendezvous * A review of the latest Longhorn build – “Castles” – do we really need another organizing metaphor for networks? More details on the UI bits here. * Server futures – the VM stuff is interesting * Lots of media center push – “…the PC is running out of time.” – not sure I buy that. * Tiers of UI experience – shades of Win286, Win386, etc. Interesting that the tiering is being driven by the graphics processors and not the CPUs. Will this tiering be transparent to ISVs – will XAML work across all these experiences? * Whirlwind virtual tour of WinHEC. * NGSCB is out. No it’s not. * Summary of Allchin’s talk – have you ported your driver to 64 bits yet? * Hidef audio driver released – this seems important but I have to admit I am confused about exactly what it is.
