This is a little pre-announcement of a new Quick App if you are SUPER keen and want to download the code without a proper release yet.

Contoso ISV is a demo we (Dr Neil/Bronwen/John, Tricky & I) built for Steve Ballmer's keynote @ World Wide Partner Conference 2007.

It has been in the deep freezer ever since whilst we waited for the Windows Live Messenger IM Control to ship (that's right - my GM (Brian Hall) demo'd in front of 12,000 people with an early, early build!)

The code base has been uploaded to the codeplex project and you can get it from the Source Code tab (should be integrated into the releases shortly)

You can get more information from here and I'll be blogging more once its integrated into the release.

To see click through demos check out the PowerPoint decks I created below:

• Contoso ISV - 1 - Setup.pptx (how to set it up - not screenshottable)
• Contoso ISV - 2 - Video Carousel.pptx (a look at the video carousel using Silverlight Streaming)
• Contoso ISV - 3 - Sharing with Friends.pptx (Creating favorites and sending to buddies)
• Contoso ISV - 4 - IM and Activity.pptx (Messenger IM Control, Virtual Earth & Windows Live Alerts)
