<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/winhec/" target="_blank">WinHEC 2007</a> officially got underway this morning with the traditional opening keynote by Microsoft founder and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates.

Gates' presentation can be seen live online <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/events/executives/billgates.mspx" target="_blank"> HERE</a>. The main news was the official announcement that Windows Longhorn Server will be called Windows Server 2008 (which we actually posted <a href="http://www.pronetworks.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=724677#724677" target="_blank">last weekend</a>). Beta 3 was handed out to the attendees here.

Here are some of the slides and highlights of the 2007 opening keynote. Watch the webcast and follow along.
