The auxiliary display that Bill Gates demonstrated earlier this morning during his opening keynote at WinHEC certainly looked better than the device that I saw in February 2004 at Intel Developer Forum.

Instead of opening your laptop in the elevator on your way to an appointment to look up the room number, you can now just use this auxiliary display that will pop up on laptops by the time Longhorn is launched late 2006.

Watch the video to see Bill Gates demonstrate the technology.
