Comment on Windows 7 Launch Client Developer Track Content Available Here by Fakher Halim

Dave,
Despite some driver issues, your explanation of Windows 7 was very useful. I have already install Windows 7 and am really amazed by its blazing performance. Because of some difficulties in Vista search (restricted by filenames), I had a bit low expectations, and was very skeptical, negative, and critical of the “Federated search” you were so passionately explaining; but after speedy and painless migration, I was amazed with the fast and accurate result I got even on my un-indexed network drives!! It is really impressive and cool — even my desktop background automatically changes after about half an hour when I get bored!!

Some interesting items have been presented in Windows 7. However, I would like to see if Microsoft can innovate more. The Windows Vista experiment failed me and others miserably. That particular Operating System reminded me of Windows Millennium Edition (ME). I find the world of Microsoft .NET as a step in the right direction. As a C# ASP.NET developer, I would have loved to see more code examples for Windows 7. Microsoft, in my opinion, needs to take it up a notch.

Great question, Patrick. Although OpenXPS (formally XPS) is an ECMA-based standard, its not been utilized nearly enough. At least visibly. OpenXPS is being utilized in many areas throughout the world in various capacities. However, there are other formats that are still ubiquitous across the planet. It will take time for the OpenXPS to gain some ground as an open standard. That still doesn’t explain why we, at Microsoft, aren’t providing documents in the OpenXPS format. That’s certainly an issue I will raise internally.

Excellent question, Phil. On MSDN, there is an area to Meet Your Local Evangelist.

Hi Dave

Listening to Ep.72, and you’re mentioning the idea about ‘who is the evangelist in your area’.

Is there a published list that the public can refer to without bugging you about my area?

That’s fantastic. Though, not to sound like I’ve been drinking the Kool-Aid a bit too much – where’s the XPS version? I mean, are the folks in Redmond conceding defeat that quickly? ;)

Thanks for the info. Telstra – Australia’s biggest telco has just announced (on 17th August) a $500m investment into cloud computing which is pretty huge.
