Good introduction on history and background of WPF. The first half was very good.

For some the confirmation about unmanaged and public MIL API 'to replace GDI' may be news. Obviously the GDI will still be there and the perf of latest CPUs doesn't make one miss the lack of hw-acceleration.

The absolute best start to finish explanation of why WPF exists and what it aims to solve I've ever seen/heard.

Great video, but I am still waiting for Sparkle!
It has been a very long wait and I am still waiting.

Suggestions for version release frequency:

Stand-alone-applications (Internet Explorer): Every Year

Tools (Visual Studio, Expression Suite): Every Two Years

Office: Every Three Years

Window Operating Systems and SQL Server: Every Four Years

Five and six year waits are inexcusable.

Less features-more releases.

Thank you again for a great interview.

DHTML! wow. I did once a web site that build completely on DHTML.

My approach was very very similar to the current AJAX technology.

But in that time frame no browser (except IE) understood what I wanted him to do Big Smile

I still remember all the exception boxes when loading the site in Netscape or Opera. Netscape even crashed.

That was fun.
