Windows Vista Sideshow - something different for an ISV to target?

On Tuesday I met with a few of our ISVs technical architects to think through opportunities for ISVs with Vista other than the "obvious" ones (which really meant - what interesting stuff could we do that was not .NET Framework 3.0). One topic we got onto was Sideshow. We bounced around some ideas - but one challenge we had was that none of us had really looked at it - doh! So today I have taken a look - and in general I like what I found.

• Firstly - take a look at this top level overview.
• Next - have a look at this overview of a prototype notebook
• Check out a nice overview article
• And now listen to the team in May and see Slideshow demonstrated

And now you understand what it really is... check out the beta SDK for Sideshow, setup the simulator and let your imagination run wild...
