Karsten Januszewski, technical evangelist, presented recently at the Macromedia Flashforward conference.

"What is a Microsoft technical evangelist doing at a design conference?"

Well, he showed off a ton of demos of Avalon that we thought you'd like to see.

The whole talk is interesting for those of you interested in Avalon, but the demos are particularly good. The demos get better toward the end, so if you only have a few minutes to watch, go to the last few demos.

13:11 XAML file presentation app.
21:50 3D composition app
24:00 skinning your app
25:50 Avalon notepad
27:30 Media Mania (you've seen this app on Channel 9 before, but here you get to see more)
32:50 Electric Rain's ZAM 3D (amazing 3D to Avalon app)
44:00 Video in Avalon (a preview of a future version of Avalon)
47:30 Video on a 3D sphere
48:20 video on multiple 3D spheres
49:30 A "Halo strip" (multiple photos on 3D surfaces)

Yeah the Avalon stuff does look really good, an i will be having a look at it as soon as they release a CTP for VS Beta2.

I keep seeing MS say that Longhorn Beta1 is this summer and Beta2 the fall.  Is it just me or do they seem close together?

When you think about most of the beta programs for example VS2005.  Beta 1 Summer/Fall 2004 then Beta2 Spring 2005 and as big a project that VS2005 is i am sure Longhorn is many times bigger.

I get the feeling that Beta2 will slip to spring 2006.

Preemptive Obnoxiousness

We already have this in Linux..

Microsoft copied this from Steve Jobs' G5.

It's not open source, so it's awful.

It won't run on anything by Windows, so it's bad.

Avalon doesn't help command-line utilities, so it's worthless..



Did I forget anything?

(Seriously, I can't wait to see this on the train ride home.)

Inaniloquent monomathical people inlapidate me.
A Flash conference and not one word about Flash. Sinners.

I do wonder how I could integrate Flash with all this neat 3D stuff. Could I overlay a Flash presentation over a 3D surface, like I can with video?

Woot!

Is there a possibility that some (or all) of these demos could be shipped with the next CTP?

I will definitely try to post samples of how we accomplished these things in the next CTP. http://www.designerslove.net
