I've known about, tracked and been briefed on Acropolis for a year now. I'm obviously interested given both my Smart Client preferences as well as our extensive use of CAB + SCBAT in our composite Enterprise type of client. Microsoft finally announced

全世界で3400万枚のビッグセールスを樹立し、本国アメリカでは歴代8位の売り上げ枚数（1900万枚）を記録している、シャナイア・トゥエインの3rdアルバム。優しいサウンドと伸びやかなヴォーカルでつづる叙情的なラヴソングのロングランヒットがこの歴史的偉業のけん引役となったことは間違いないが、ゆったり語りかけるように歌う、軽やかなテンポのアップナンバーをはじめ、6曲ものシングルヒットが飛び出していることもアルバムの好セールスを支えた要因である。最近ではブリトニー・スピアーズやバックストリート・ボーイズも手がけ、シャナイアの夫としても知られるロバート・ジョン“マット”ランジが全面プロデュースを担当。カントリー界で活躍していたシャナイアを、ポップフィールドの頂点へと導いた記念すべきアルバムだ。（速藤年正

Thanks Brad, I will monitor that thread.

Acropolis, as was/is CAB, is a good thing IMO. ALL of the WPF books out so far deal with the nuts and bolts of WPF and such.

What hasnt been as visible is "How do you build a non trivial desktop app with WPF and the other new capabilities of .Net 3.0+". What has changed in how to approach the problem. Do we use the same old ways, or has the technology changed enough to cause/enable us to look at the problem in a new light.

The capabilities of WPF are enormous, and as such, force a rethink of how to design a non-trivial app.

Again, thanks.

This looks like a great set of components/tools. I've got it installed and can't wait to dive in.

Is this really slated to become part of the .NET Framework post-3.5? It would be nice to eliminate the need for additional redistributable bits.
