• This Week C9: Revolution 9 - The Future of Channel 9

  +1 for making the PDC content much more discoverable. I think it's one of C9's crown jewels and it's hidden so well I kinda assumed it was done deliberately.

  "There's a lot of very useful information in this conversation with plenty of whiteboarding."

  I read that sentence as "... with plenty of water-boarding." Sheesh, sign of the times.

  I think I own the Mac guy's jeans. They look like a pair of Paul Smith/Diesel.
  
  Worrying thing is that I also own a sports jacket that looks similar to Windows guy. Not quite as lame though ...

  Looks cool.
  
  I have a questions about the new table cell naming (ie where cell refrences like  $E2 are replaced with  names like [2004 prices] (http://channel9.msdn.com/Showpost.aspx?postid=177827&pvrid=269).
  
  If I build a table in Excel 07 and my formulas are automaticaly translated this way. What happens when somebody attempts to open the sheet in Excel '03?

• Windows Server 2003 R2 and Beyond

  Excellent video. I was totaly unaware of R2's beefed-up file replication.

  I have a couple of expensive Double-Take licenses performing this role for me at the moment (copying our file data to the DR site).

  I now have a viable alternative to consider next time the infrastructure is altered.

  I think he said OWA for Exchange 2000, not 2003. I remember it was already quite good, and that was waaaay before everybody started talking about AJAX.

  
  
  OWA for Exchange 2000 literally was the grand-daddy of AJAX. AJAX leverages the XmlHttp object for communication with the server "in the background". The XmlHttp object in IE was developed primarily for OWA.
  
  A few articles MSDN later and a team I worked on started using it for internal corporate web applications. The Soap wizard & web behavior shipped and things became simple. Skip forward a few years, an XMLHttp implementation goes into Firefox/Mozilla and Google picks up the stick and runs with it.
  
  There's guys on the team I used to work with that regularly deconstruct the gmail / gmap code. The Google developers seem to have learnt a lot tricks to really push the performance.
