CeBIT 2004 Sydney - Product using .NET FX I saw many solutions being shown at CeBIT that had been developed using the .NET framework and the .NET Compact Framework.  More than I expected, to be honest. I’ll take that as a positive :) And I saw one app that knocked my socks off! It is called Filesphere , which delivers a very rich user desktop experience, integrated tightly into the explorer shell, and exploiting all the capabilities of Office 2003. This is delivering the promise of Longhorn’s winfs TODAY. The demo was impressive, I was able to locate documents based on keywords, authors, projects, dates, etc - just like those cool longhorn demos we saw at the PDC. The system creates and manages all the meta-data for the documents and it is this meta-data that facilitates this excellent user experience. I don’t get too excited normally, but this is a fantastic app. Developed locally in Sydney. I remember meeting the folks behind this product 18 months ago and they were very excited back then. It really really rocks!!! And it’s all managed code. Robert Scoble - are you out there? You need to check out these guys.

We have also added screenshots for those interested in seeing shell integration. Additional resources Last updated on 2004-05-07
