The first keynote session on Tuesday was all about building the next generation user experiences.
Microsoft talked about new features in Windows 7, .Net, Visual Studio, WPF, Silverlight, Office and Live Services.
Touch screens where used extensively for demonstrations, as Windows 7 come with extensive support for this.
A common denominator for all topics where integration (utilizing the new Azure based services in the Cloud) between Desktop, Browser apps and Mobile devices.
They made a couple of very impressive demos on WPF/Silverlight applications that utilised both touch capabilities (Tesco) and Live Services syncronisation (BBC).
Hope I can link to screenshots of these presentations, as they give a whole new idea on user experience.
Office 14 was also demonstrated, with focus on collaboration (e.g. live syncronisation between two users editing within the same document) and syncronised publishing (e.g. publish a Excel graph to a webpage and keeping it live sync with the data behind the graph)
