Windows 7 gadgets on display at IDF

Introduction

>> It's pretty clear that consumers are spending more and more time with digital media, in particular video. 62 percent of all the video on the internet that's watched is user generated content, and the majority of it is under 2 minutes long. And increasingly what you're seeing people do, is not just shoot and upload, but also take the time to edit it out and create something which is compelling for their friends or their family. One of the things that Intel and Microsoft had done with this generation of consumer devices, consumer PC's, is focus on a way to optimize how all of these devices can work together. And to show you how that plays out, let me bring out Art... to walk us through the world of consumer.

>> So what I brought along with me is several new and next generation devices, all running various different flavors of Windows 7. And the first one I want to show you is this cool new device from UMID with an atom processor, and not only does it have, give me access to the full internet, it's got an integrated camera here and it allows me to capture my adventures here in San Francisco, and this keynote's a big part of that adventure. You mind if I just take a quick video?

>> Sure.

>> ... you on stage. So right through the camera, got the TransAmerica building in the background. And so, I started with running Windows 7. It's running in the Windows 7 Home Basic version. I'll turn this around for the camera so you can see the familiar user interface, and the application I use to capture the video. And since it's running Windows 7, it makes it very easy to add this onto my home network, or home group, and share my media across that; and we'll use that later on in the demo here.

>> OK.

>> So moving on. As I'm traveling, I almost always take a camera or an MID with me to capture pictures and video. But I'm a bit of a photography buff, so I usually want something with a bigger screen size and a little bit more processing power. So I went to something like this Arrandale laptop, so I can edit the pictures and videos. But you might want to just look at the pictures and...

>> You're saying I'm lazy?

>> ... and go on the internet. No, just something that might match your needs a little bit better. And the Netbook is playing Windows 7 Starter, and on the Arrandale we're running Windows 7 Home Premium. So I wanted to show you a common task that I like to do, so you understand a little better why I might choose the Arrandale system. So if we kick that off, and I'll explain what we're doing here. So on both systems we're using Windows 7 photo gallery to stitch together a panoramic scene. I'm using 4 pictures in this case, and you can see that the Netbook is fully capable of doing this task, but the Arrandale laptop with the extra processing power and features like Turbo are able to do that 3 to 4 more times faster; and that just scales when you do more pictures and video. Now when I get home, I might want to use a... I will want to use a desktop with a little extra performance and a bigger screen size. In this case I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate, and since it's on my home network I can pull videos and pictures from across the network, in this case we're going to be using Windows Movie Maker; very easy to do that and create movies. We're going to pull together the pictures that we had on the UMID device, we'll pull that down to our frames here, and then from the Arrandale we'll pull that panoramic picture and some other pictures we have on that, and with just a couple clicks of our automovie feature, we'll have transitions and a title ready to go; and then just a couple more clicks of the autopublish button, we get that going, name it, and kick that off. And in about 20 seconds we'll have a movie we're ready to share.

>> So it's got to use a lot of MIP's. You always bring out a surprise. I bet this is our next generation Westmere desktop product.

>> I actually didn't bring Westmere, but I never want to disappoint you. So this is actually our next, next generation silicon, Sandy Bridge. So it's fantastic that Sandy Bridge is already up and running Windows 7, and it be able to do a task like this. This is just unbelievable. We have had it for about a month now.
