With Windows Presentation Foundation, we want to make it possible for you to build a more emotional connection with your users. In this video, Kevin Moore and Robby Ingebretsen take this to its extreme as they show you how to build KevinButton using styles and templates. What would Windows look like if these guys were in charge of the whole interface, I wonder?

Also in the future we'll more than likely have in our tag system the ability to connect the two so that Avalon, WPF and Windows+Presentation+Foundation act all as the same tag, but they all redirect to /tags/WPF

I never could find the source code for this example, so I threw one together and published it as an xbap...I didn't have a bunch of pics of Kevin handy, so I created a SmileyButton instead:

I like the SmileyButton - we should do a version with the Channel 9 guy Smiley

Kevin has finally got around to posting the source code for KevinButton as part of his revised Bag'O'Tricks - check it out.
