Breaking the Mental Logjam
As I've mentioned, one of the biggest problems I see with Longhorn is deciding exactly what to do with all of the new capabilities. So, when Carter Maslan showed me some internal training videos showing off some uses of Longhorn in potential real-world applications, I just knew we had to get them out to the world.
The first such "concept video" is centered around commercial real estate (available at 320x240 and 640x480) and Carter's got more planned in other industries, including manufacturing, telecom, financial services and more. The goal is to help break the mental logjam around how we build Windows and web applications today to get folks thinking about the possibilities that Longhorn provides. Enjoy.

My only negative is that, 1 its a couple years away, and 2 I dont see what the advantage is for microsoft only allowing MSDN subscribers and the PDC folks to play with it. Im in between jobs right now with tons of time on my hands, Id love to me messing around with longhorn.
Ill make demos for free :)

I'm sure once we see a legitimate beta, MS will be more liberal.
I'm not a subscriber, and I didn't attend the PDC either. I feel your pain. =)
