Vista Feature - People Near Me

People Near Me is a new feature in Vista whereby other Vista users on the same network are made visible and available for collaboration sessions. Others on the People Near Me list can see and join these sessions if they know the session password (you can also hide sessions from view if you want). The Windows Meeting Space (also known as Windows Shared View) works with the People Near Me feature to allow you to invite others to meetings and give presentations, share handouts and send private notes to participants. For more info on how it works, see http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/en/library/8a70907e-9137-4426-a46f-a2d1eeadbd5a1033.mspx?mfr=true

As a side note, I have played with this for about 15 minutes and it seems amazing. Granted, I was testing it with another Vista user on the same LAN, but it was very cool. The features are great and it is very user intuitive and graphically appealing...
