I attended this seminar in the US. It gives a good overview of their newest mapping solution (ArcServer & Adobe Flex). Interesting, the previewed ArcExplorer, which has become a not-so-discreet ripoff of Google Earth. Microsoft must be pushing its Virtual Earth (a.k.a. "MS Google Maps") as that was demonstrated a lot during the demonstration.
The Adobe Flex webgis frontend was very slick. It is the obvious trend they wanted people to follow (i.e. "Abandon ArcIMS and yeah, there is SilverLight, but look at Flex!"). OK, they didn’t actually say that previous quoted sentence, but that was the jist of the demo.
I’d say, if you have no clue about ArcServer and the newest WebGIS (or any for that matter) offerings, it is worthwhile going to, despite the somewhat laden pitch towards ArcExplorer and MS Virtual Earth. Hey, it is a free seminar, right?
