Can anyone recommend any resources (articles/whitepapers/overviews) that give an introduction to the new technologies being introduced with Vista. I have various acronyms being tossed at me like WinFX, WPF, WPE, Windows Comms Framework, etc and I need
to understand how the are structured and fit together, plus the obviously thing - what they do!
Thanks in advance.

WinFX, which comprises WF, WPF & WCF, is not vista technology as such in that they will all run on XP / server 2003 too. Plus, WinFX is now .NET 3.0, so go figure.

Tensor: That's part of what I need to understand. MS are trying to sell Vista as our new development platform as 'it has better technologies' for delivering solutions, but I'm pretty sure that anything Vista can do (.net wise), XP would be able to do too.
As I'm still gettong up to speed with .Net current version, I've tried not to look at Vista and W[fxpecf] stuff. Now I have to. -

As I understand it, the winfx / .nt 3 stuff should, at its core, still be .net 2.0, with new namespaces added - so it still should compile to target the same framework. The same is true of the LINQ project. So, the idea would be the core runtime would remain the same, with effectively extra libs being added.
Good for you if you are getting to do the new stuff early though

Hi
You can visit the new website for .NET 3.0 (WinFX). The url is: www.netfx3.com
There you will find complete information, examples and articles about the technologies that conform .NET 3.0 (WinFX)
Enjoy it
