Quote:

Indigo is the codename for Microsoft’s unified programming model for building connected systems. It extends the .NET Framework 2.0 with additional APIs for building secure, reliable, transacted Web services that interoperate with non-Microsoft platforms and integrate with existing investments. By combining the functionality of existing Microsoft distributed application technologies (ASMX, .NET Remoting, .NET Enterprise Services, Web Services Enhancements, and System.Messaging), Indigo delivers a single development framework that improves developer productivity and reduces organizations’ time to market.

Avalon is the code name for Microsoft's unified presentation subsystem for Windows. It consists of a display engine and a managed-code framework. Avalon unifies how Windows creates, displays, and manipulates documents, media, and user interface. This enables developers and designers to create visually-stunning, differentiated user experiences that improve customer connection. When delivered, Avalon will become Microsoft's strategic user interface (UI) technology.

Its amazing, he is the guy here to install the OS's yet he didnt know why the CD he was using to do so was not booting on IA64 :\.. plus, I'm the one getting CD-Keys etc.. from my contacts..

its a very strange world.. Anywho on topic..

I'm not that interested in Indigo for now, as anything I plan on doing using parellel computing or infact anything "connected" will be done using something that is NOT M$ based. However Avalon does sound appealing, I have a feeling we will be seeing some big improvements in UI with the release of "longhorn". One can only hope. I am however still sitting on *nixs side line* WE WILL GET BETTER!!

Can't you get that via MSDN subscription, or they gave it away at WinHEC, just like they did with the newest Longhorn build Smile

Edit:

Stupid me, now i see that you can download it publically Surprised
