Any information on WPF/E development? Will it provide preview capability or any benefits to WPF/E development?

Are there any plans that you are aware of to convert the MSDN library to work as a reader (like the NY Times, Seattle PI)??

I find myself going to the web a lot for documentation (yeah I get the monthly CD from MSDN), but it would be really nice to have that all in a reader as a flow document that updates etc. can be live and cached for times when I am disconnected from the internet. The CD is a great resource, but I'd love to see an MSDN "reader" app based on wpf..

I am working to install the "orcas" preview and the Self-extracting image link brings me to the microsoft home page. I was wondering if this was just not up yet. The new preview sounds really great, because I am getting frustrated with the security issues using Vista with VS 2005..

Since "there's still a place for Expression Blend as part of a developers toolkit", will you be making sure that Blend is included as part of the MSDN subscription? Hint. Hint!

Can this be installed side by side with Visual Studio 2005?

How do you add a button click event to a WPF button with the March CTP?

Dont forget to download that 1.5 gig VPC base image after you're done with the 6.5 March drop!

Tim,

Your comment about Blend is all to telling. I find myself moving back and forth between Blend and VS for projects. And I find Blend has some superior features (e.g. databinding) over Visual Studio and a better UX for visual work. So why not include a great tool from developers ( via the MSDN subscription)? Both Expression Blend and Expression Web carry feature sets that should be part of Visual Studio. Sorry for the rant! Congrats to the Orcas release.

Cheers.
