This is the same transition of DirectX to Managed DirectX / XNA. Just be patient. I only hope MS can transfer all their future products to .Net based appliations. You know, at least showing off what .Net can do. So far, I have seen some really good looking flashy warehouse managment software using .Net though.

Managed DirectX has been dead for years and will likely never be brought back to life. XNA is a dead-end as its too tied to the 360 to be able to take advantage of any recent or semi-recent hardware developments. That's more of a perfect example of how Microsoft has failed to deliver a .Net API than a success story.
