The best session of the day so far. Showed some tremendous demos that really showed off what WPF is all about. Covered the My Yahoo example in more detail (which apparently had been cut short on the fly due to time issues - bummer). Some very cool examples of visually stunning UIs that were created in very little time. Also covered WPF/e which, for those of you that don't know, is how MSFT will bring a subset of WPF/e functionality to non-Microsoft browsers and platforms.

It uses the Netscape plug-in model to provide WPF functionality on various platforms. It can also be direclty integrated into devices, but not a ton of detail there and I really didn't care. They demoed some cool 3D and 2D WPF animations running inside Firefox and in Safari (yes, WPF on the Mac my friends). They did not cover what the differences between WPF and WPF/e were, but I think one thing will be the inability to tie .NET code to the WPF interface so things beyond animation or simple databinding probably are out of scope. But it was incredibly easy to take something from a rich desktop UI and turn it into a cross-platform widget (as in, point and click in the UI and you are done!). Very cool stuff. CTPs coming later this year.
