MS Expert Zone Featured Community Summit Pics


Recommended Posts

I'm at the MS Expert Zone Featured Community Summit 2004, and I'm taking pictures of all the cool stuff they are showing us. I believe there are two reps from Neowin.net, and I'm representing Bink.nu.

I'm uploading the pics basically right after I take them, so check back for new pics ;-).

Yeah, that was the Microsoft Museum section. I just uploaded two pics from the MSN Music presentation, and we all got 10 free song downloads :-).

Next, we're going to the Microsoft Home of the Future, then to the Microsoft Company Store, Microsoft Office of the Future, 727 Pine (Restarunt for dinner), and then to Gameworks (a little fun gaming :ninja:)

I really want to talk to neobond and Redmak, but I haven't gotten the opportunity to really say anything to them. I'm becomming good friends with some of the Tablet PC and Windows Mobile/Embedded MVPs that are here :-).

We saw some great stuff today that, unfortionatly, is NDA and I was unable to take pictures of.

Oh, and the trip to the Microsoft Store was fun.. it was like 20 kids in candy stores ;-).

I LOVED the shop. I picked up an XBox Media Center Extender for $70, an XBox Live Headset for $20, and two ($50/ea) games for $15/ea.

Oh, and not to mention before we went to dinner last night, they supprised us all with free Creative Zen Micro's... ooooh they are so nice ;-) (bye bye iPod :cool:)

Oh...my...god :huh:

How do you get to those conferences? A bit off topic I know but I finish school next year in the Summer and was just thinking about career possibilities n'stuff. Which one is this summit about? 'cause I know there's the CeBIT conference and a few others and I get confused.

:blink:

Okay, uploaded pics from yesturday. Also added a pic of Neobond & Redmak having dinner on Day1.

I'd be happy to report that at that dinner, we talked about moving Neowin to ASP.NET :happy: They see the benefits, but don't worry, I don't think I convinced them enough to really do it :-P. Oh, and I didn't get to see any Neowin 4.0 designs :-P (but I like 3.9 just fine :D)

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.
    • I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies
    • Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area   
    • memories! completely forgot about alcohol 120%!!!! man this list just makes me think of all the exciting times! everything's become so sterilized these days.
