I think nothing shows off the power of Vista and WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) better than this browser application (requires either Vista or XP with the latest .NET 3.0 installed).

Re: Windows Vista & WPF. Impressive new browser applications
Just a note, WPF is not just for Vista its available for XP.
WPF is part of .Net 3.0. Its a new way to design GUI applications. It allows for animations and other nice visual enhancements. A couple of new applications using WPF are the new Yahoo Messenger(http://messenger.yahoo.com/windowsvista.php) and the New York Times browser(http://firstlook.nytimes.com/index.php?cat=4) |

Re: Windows Vista & WPF. Impressive new browser applications
That book application is very cool. Just a note. You need to open it up in IE. I was in Firefox and it kept asking me to save the file.

Re: Windows Vista & WPF. Impressive new browser applications
Very cool. Once I got the .net 3.0 installed it ran great. Reading those was much easier to me than the usual e-books. The text in this was softer on the eyes. Great use of technology if I do say so myself. XP ran it fine, but I'm guessing that Vista does it more seamlessly.

The one thing I would like to see is to be able to get more details when zooming in rather than expanding the initial detail.

Re: Windows Vista & WPF. Impressive new browser applications
Another great WPF application can be found here. It's a 3D online catalog of Otto's products. The Otto Group are a huge retail conglomerate with €9b of revenues in 2005/6; they own retail outlets like Crate and Barrel in the US as well as catalog companies like Grattan and Freemans in the UK.
The website is in German, but if you click on the install link it should be pretty self explanitory. More background info, including comments from the lead sofware designer, can be found here.

Re: Windows Vista & WPF. Impressive new browser applications
LOL. No to both. I'm just a natural evangelist for things I find cool. And, Vista isn't required for any of the WPF apps listed here.
...but if you feel the need to reimburse me I'm sure I can set up a PayPal account... ![]()
