My name is Ted Hu, a Senior Program Manager for the WPF Team. I love hearing from customers - please let me know what you think!
I see the WPF Ribbon control is mentioned in the above feature list, but it was never delivered with .NET 4!
People are wondering what's happened to it:

Hi Ted,
xcellent initiative. For future releases of WPF, I would vote for:
- support for IDataErrorInfo and INotifyDataErrorInfo for data validation as in Silverlight 4. WPF being positioned as a LOB rich client, CRUD data entry forms, with convivial error reporting capabilities, are indeed an essential part of application development in this environment.
- additional Silverlight control porting to WPF (accordion, chart, dataform, deep zoom).
Thank you !
