Vista Collaboration | Charles

Very exciting stuff. One concern that pops up though - These pieces of toast he referrs to... The boxes that inform me of an invite to play Halo 2: If I'm playing a different game full-screen at the time, will these pop-ups interfere with my game? Such a mis-click could be catastrophic to the game I'm currently playing (probably Starcraft).

EDIT: Having watched further into the video now, I just want to say that it was good to focus on gaming, as that's a huge market. After hearing some of the great stuff this will enable, I really feel this is a key part of Vista that needs more evangelism; I'd heard nearly zilch about it up till this part and I think it'll be one of its key selling points. Now, as soon as there's a crack for that whole DRM thing I'll probably be putting Vista on my shopping list Smiley

Welcome Change

The possibilities for new forms of communication among human peers is just astounding. Further, it could be leveraged for communication between machines, between applications, between clusters of applications, even different applications that share some common need for presence and communication.

Think it up. Make it happen.

I think we need to dig a bit deeper into the dev platform side of Vista Collaboration. Indeed. Time to go deep...

This is certainly one of the coolest new features of Windows that will enable innovative platform extensions. (Jeez, am I turning into a marketing goon? No, this technology has captured my attention and curiosity because I think I see something beyond the obvious...)

We’re going to be filming some going deep videos for Windows Vista Collaboration. What questions do the 9ers have for the team?

Windows Collaboration technologies:

PNRP (Peer Name Resolution Protocol) - "Serverless DNS".
PNM (People Near Me) - Collaboration with people on your local subnet.

Session Invitation - send and receive invites to your contacts.

Mesh, Grouping and Graphing – Long running group collaboration.

Peer Channel - Group replication.

Windows Collaboration Experience - Project your desktop to people’s computers around you. (Start->All Programs->Windows Collaboration)

The main thing i want to see is come crazy demos.

One question i have is what the latency would be like for games?

Surely having to replicate the packets would increase the latency?

I'm really interested in the gaming side of this technology. Can you explain more how games would use this technology?

Cheers

IT will make you cry

Great video! Is this stuff going to be included in Office12? It would be a killer feature to include ad hoc collaboration in OneNote.

WOOH! WOOH!

Let us in on your FolderShare and Avalanche plan.

I hear MS has a IPv6 to IPv4 translation service, if I didn't misunderstood its function, there's gonna be a lot of traffic going through it. Can the service handle the traffic?

Hm, MS FolderShare website running on PHP, weird...
