It should instead point to: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=35FC4205-792B-4306-8E4B-0DE9CCE72172&displaylang=en Cheers, Henrik Alan,

This isn't an available tool. The download is a bunch of screenshots. The "custom application" is simply a standard journal.nsf template with a few cosmetic tweaks, no workflow or business logic or anything remotely complicated. The output looks rubbish, the views are not sorted correctly and it really doesn't look anything like as nice as the start point. Why was the demo using last year's sessions database? Would it take too long to migrate the one for this year? Wouldn't it have been a better demonstration if a few months ago they took this years database, migrated it and put it up on a public website for all to compare the functionality? Maybe the results don't stand up to even casual scrutiny. I am sure it is possible to migrate Domino databases to other platforms, something like Joomla with a couchDB backend might encompase a sufficient level of functionality to present similar features. I just don't think Sharepoint has got what it takes, and that is the impression I get from this demo. well I can’t say I am impressed. This isn’t an available tool.
