There's a cool screen capture video of Guided Help in action. I haven't seen these blogcasts a lot before, but they're pretty cool - maybe we'll have to do some.  I'm tickled by the phrase "virtual whiz-kid" - that's definitely how I'd like users to feel. :)

Long Zheng had these comments to go with his blogcast:
There are two major improvements in this area. Help is no longer for the inexperienced. And help is no longer long pages of text. Not only if help going to offer support to the computer novice, it also offers advanced tips and tricks that caters to all users. Guided help introduces interactivity and assistance to the knowledge-base, kind of like having a virtual wiz-kid, visual cues will assist users in completing many help tasks. Interestingly, if you notice the arrow in the ‘compass’ always points to where you need to look at. Also the window moves around pretty fluidly placing itself around the focused area.
