The Moth

UPDATED on 23 June 2007 with some Plus links and new items 13-15.

Following my Vista session at Tech Ed, I was asked to create a blog entry that indexes all my other blog entries that provide supporting material for the topics I covered. I thought I'd also include topics from my UK version of the talk, which is longer. Enjoy!

1. Glass

2. Task Dialog, CommandLink, CommonFileDialog, cue banner plus Vista TreeView and ProgressBar
Follow this link, for my screencast and 5 links to my blog entries plus this and that.

3. Power aware
Follow this link, for my demo code and a few supporting links.

4. Windows Error Reporting & winqual

11. Non-dev
In addition to the Visual Studio demos above, I also demo the new shell enhancements by going through some of the new aesthetic and usability improvements. Finally, I touch upon the new aero guidelines and also the SKUs.

12. Slides
You can download my powerpoints from the UK msdn page [part 1 & part 2], as presented in October 2006. Plus my slides from the UK Vista launch.

If the links above are not enough, here is a collection of Vista developer links I captured back in May (so I can't promise anything about their relevance now that Vista RTMd).

13. SideShow
Watch the video and follow the links form here, and read bottom-up my SideShow category.

14. Preview Handlers
Watch the video and follow links form here, and also see this.

15. Etc
A couple smaller things that are Vista-only accessible from managed code are WinSAT and Control Panel Items.
