Windows Blackcomb / Vienna Presentation (?)
I found this video on YouTube that seems to be an old, official video from Microsoft. The uploader claims that it's a prototype for the scrapped project Blackcomb/Vienna that later became Windows 7. Does anybody know what this actually is?

Well, it literally tells you in the beginning. It's some Microsoft Research thing. Nothing to do with Blackcomb, really.

This feels like something that if updated would work nicely as a VR environment - maybe some of the code (or at least programmers) got picked up into Windows Mixed Reality.

Oh, I've never seen this video before. Funny if they wanted to make Windows into a first-person adventure. I think someone in 1999 was talking about how the next generation of Windows looks like. So I think that's how the uploader claimed.
