This talk was presented by Dan Plastina of Microsoft.

One of the key new features is Intellimirror (tm) functionality. Essentially, this consists of mirroring every write to the local disk to a network disk. This will allow complete recreation of the local disk in the event of a catastrophic hardware failure.

Seamless roaming will also be enabled, allowing a user to sit at any machine, and as far as hardware permits, have a recreation of their normal environment on the remote machine. This will include any applications that would be installed locally, as well as user documents.

Another important part of this initiative are the Windows Management Services, such as Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) and Windows Management Interface (WMI). WBEM allows sharing of management data between network devices, desktops, and systems.
