We are seeing a phenomenal amount of interest in our WPF products and the WPF platform. Developers are quickly adopting the WPF platform thereby realizing amazing gains in productivity and the quality of their overall user experience. Microsoft has done a marvelous job with WPF and we wish to have our customers obtain the benefit of this platform to the greatest extent possible.”
