I attended a Microsoft event for developers today, where they showed off a lot of the fancy new user interface features available with Vista. Even if you are running XP, you can install the Net 3.0 Framework and get a lot of the same effects, since they’re based on the Windows Presentation Framework. One of the coolest applications they demoed is the New York Times Reader. It’s a program you run locally on your computer, which then connects to NYT online and allows you to read through the paper. It also has a really quick search feature, but the beauty is in the presentation. You’ve got to try it out to really get the idea… it’s very dynamic [screenshot].
