Following up to the audience question at 49:30 or so, the Virtual Earth 3D map control for WPF (PC) and Surface is called InfoStrat.VE and is available at:
http://virtualearthwpf.codeplex.com
The only reason they said it isn't "compatible" with Concierge is because Concierge requires an older version of Virtual Earth but the InfoStrat.VE control uses the latest version of Virtual Earth. You can't install two versions side-by-side, so Surface demos that need Concierge have to use the older version, at least until they update it.
