Bringing the Microsoft application platform to a computer near you
"WPF/E" == "Wow"

Now that the "WPF/E" February 2007 CTP is available, I'm sure many of you want to see how cool it is and want to know what all the buzz is about? Just point your browser to http://www.vista.si/ and experience the better Web of the future.

If your Slovenian is not quite what it used to be, first click the icon at the top (if necessary, to install the latest "WPF/E" CTP) then click the icon with the Vista ribbon to launch the app.

Go ahead and interact with this browser-based emulation of Windows Vista, Microsoft's new flagship operating system. You can resize, move, minimize & maximize windows; transparency is enabled; the clock in the Sidebar works as expected; you can even "launch" things from the Start menu. Amazing.

Of course, since "WPF/E" can be programmed with standard JavaScript, you can use it to easily enhance and interact with your existing ASP.NET AJAX applications.
