Andrew Dugdell is a known for his technical talks at TechEd in the past, but this year, he offered a session that was a little lighter: Windows 7 After Dark, all the stuff in Windows 7 that's fun for you at home.
Andrew gave me a quick rundown of some of the things in his session like Media Center and touch screen integration.
Even cooler though, Andrew showed off the arcade unit he built on Windows 7 as a hobby project.
Andrew's next project is a cocktail style arcade unit, which means retiring this stand up unit, so we got to witness that, too.
Andrew's how-to presentation on building an arcade unit can be found at http://www.tinyurl.com/buildwin7

Thanks Andrew for posting this video. After the hasty roll out of Vista a couple of years ago, I watched many of my friends grapple with the bugs and crashes that arose from the first generation of that OS. I was so pleased that I had tried and trusted XP and that I didn't lose worktime ironing out bugs or on the phone to tech support. Here we are two years later and Windows 7 is on the market and comes preinstalled on many new laptops. Do we have any guarantee that first adopters of Windows 7 won't suffer as their early Vista brethren did? I like the fact that many cheap laptops and netbooks come preinstalled with Windows XP home. I think it's great that you roll out new OS's like Windows Seven, but please keep supporting the old ones like XP with updates so that the cusomer has choice.

There’s a lot of detail from the design of Windows 7, to the development teams, Windows Live integration strategies and of course the man, the legend, Steven Sinofsky who’s influencing the release cycles of Windows. And don’t forget Calculator, Paint and Notepad. Dental Implants Manchester
