1) How did you achieve the transistion between pages? From what I can gather, you are using a Navigation window with the background gradient built in. Whenever a new page is navigated to, you fade the old one out and fade the new one in?

2) The WPF/E application that was shown seemed to be completely different than the client application. If it was completely different XAML and C# code, why was it said "this is the same XAML..."?
Please remember, WPF/E is still in the planning stage. I'm just relaying information given at the session. But that's one of the great things about PDC, we get to show off our ideas and get feedback from everyone.
Great demos, but I'm kind of worried that contractors can be certified by getting "training" solely by PDA, websites, etc. I think hands on training and instruction are useful in some cases.

My guess is that IE6 has the back-forward chrome, and IE7 has not (as it provides interfaces for manipulating its own back/forward buttons, so no use of creating own ones). Right?
