Recovered Footage of Windows Longhorn AERO PDC 2003 Presentation by Hillel Cooperman BetaCollector 2021-05-22 | Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/beta_collectorVisit my blog: betacollector.comVideo Description: Shortly after PDC 2003, I spent weeks and weeks and weeks scouring the web for any kind of footage or images captured from attendees. This video was captured from Hillel Cooperman's session, which, if memory serves me correctly, prohibited videos from being recorded (pictures were fine, though).Needless to say, I was EXTREMELY excited to find this footage at the time! For many years after, this was the only footage I'd seen from an attendee recording there, in the room, while this particular demo was taking place.I've sweetened the audio to remove the harsh highs, stabilized the footage (which was quite shaky), and enhanced what I could to make the lighting, contrast, and color look less washed-out. As a bonus, I've included an HD snippet of what's on the screen!Last of note, the original footage begins and ends suddenly, so if it seems like I just abruptly segue into the HD footage, that's why. Enjoy! =)#WindowsLonghorn #PDC2003 #AERO
