Let me start by saying that I'm a big fan of WPF and I have been working intensely with it for the past half year. Also, I really appreciate the effort that went into the preparation of this lab and it is really a great learning resource.

However, this example clearly demonstrates why WPF is not yet ready for the bread-and-butter business applications. Look on the UI text on the left side, and compare it with the HTML text on the right side. WPF text at small font sizes is too fuzzy and causes great strain on the eye. The same goes for the small 16x16 bitmap icons. I'm aware of all the technical reasons for this phenomenon (resolution indepence, anti-aliasing, etc.), I've done all the known tweaking (setting the LCD at its natural resolution, adjusting the WPF anti-aliasing registry entries, etc.), and I've also been following all blogs and forums discussions about this topic. But nothing really helps.

Another significant problem is rendering performance. I've manually increased the number of items in the "inbox.xml" to several hundreds, and the performance of the Inbox listbox scrolling is noticeably degraded.

This is a pity, since WPF is probably the greatest achievement in the world of GUI frameworks to date. However, unless these problems are resolved in the next version of WPF, it will be very difficult to convince our business users to use this technology.

Hi Tim,

On a related topic any idea where I can get the lab files for the mix labs i.e Silverlight, Blend etc. During the event the labs were made available without the project files. Tried to track them down at the time without any luck.

Regards
