Longhorn WinHEC Build: What's New?

"As I'm sure most people know by now, we've made an updated build of Windows 'Longhorn' (build 4074) available. My colleague Mike Taulty pointed to a webcast from Dave Massy that highlights the progress that's been made since the bits we handed out at the PDC. Of course many people (myself included) hate webcasts: they're just too slow and it's hard to pick out the salient points. So I've taken the liberty of posting the notes I took whilst watching this webcast, to give you the choice between watching or skim-reading...

This week we've released a Longhorn Community Technical Preview - the first update to the Longhorn bits distributed to PDC attendees. The updated bits were distributed to WinHEC attendees and are also available to MSDN subscribers. There are 32-bit and 64-bit (both Itanium and 64-bit extensions) images in both debug and retail versions. The SDK has been updated, and a DDK has also been released."
