Windows Presentation Foundation - Everywhere?

Posted By: Charles | May 15th, 2006 @ 2:38 PM

Recently, Scoble caught up with Mike Harsh, a program manager on the WPF/E team (where WPF = Windows Presentation Foundation and E stands for "Everywhere"). Let's dig into to what "Everywhere" means for WPF/E, shall we? And how much of WPF will be exposed everywhere? Does this mean you can run WPF apps in a web browser running on the Mac? What about Linux?

The video stops at 34:38 and WMP gives an error about the server not being available. Did anyone else experience this?

Monkey see, monkey do, monkey will destroy you!

Maybe this is answered in the video, which I'll watch later tonight, but how will WPF/E content be affected by the "Click to activate this control" kludge that MS put into IE because of the Eolas lawsuit?

Don't touch that mustard. It's Jerry and Bills.

That only applies to the object and embed tags.

Had the same problem with the streaming both with the full screen button and the play button on the page. But the download worked ok. It actually stopped for me at about 35:15.

The clock demo was pretty cool, it even worked in firefox. It was worth trying to view it 3 times.

Maybe that was it, don't we always say "Third time is the charm"?

how about PDA?
or cell phone?
Flash player is about to blast to handheld devices such as PDA, MP3, cellphone.

I think '/E' should do this.
