ARCPAD: Snapping now possible (they said that you cannot currenlty). This is ArcPad 7
File Geodatabase: Much faster. The demo seemed to verify this, and the figure they gave was 20% to 10 times faster, especially on large datasets, and rasters.
PDF (this is cool) FILES: You can set up "layers" within PDF files that the end reader can turn off. So you could create a PDF file where the readers can turn off the pipelines, etc.
I'm still confused about licensing, but it sounds now like we might get an at least basic version of ArcServer at 9.2 for free with maintenance (because of our ArcIMS license) I'm glad we did not pay 30K for one already! It comes with a default "web map", similar to ArcIMS Author, for easily creating sites without programming.
ArcGIS Explorer (i.e. Google Earth) easily reads ArcServer services. You can also add in"tasks" ,ie toolbar and model commands, for use and running on the web. It can also integrate in other services simultaneously, i.e. ArcIMS, ArcWeb Services, Google KML, etc. It appears cooler than Google Earth.
ArcServer services and administration APPEARS to be much easier than ArcIMS
GEODATABASE archiving looks really cool, being able to query a GDB back to specific time. I wonder how huge the files get, though. This could be very valuable in certain projects where we get data changing all the time, but then have to go back to oldi nformation!
More Geostatistical tools have been added in 9.2
More Map Animation functions right in basic desktop (demo was very cool)
