WPF/e - Community preview released (and some great links)

Well we just released the first publically availible WPF/e code.  Why do I think this is newsworthy?  Because this is one of the most incredible releases we have done in years!  This will provide a WPF-like experience (mostly in 2D) for cross-browser and cross-platform support.  There is no requirement to for IE on Windows [Vista], or anything of that nature.  Right now, alternate platforms means a Mac, but heck thats pretty good.  In truth it does much more than similar products, but I will leave that to another discussion (see the link to the Windows Vista preview, all done in WPF/e).

What is WPF/e?  In MSDN's own words:

“WPF/E” is the Microsoft solution for delivering rich, cross-platform, interactive experiences including animation, graphics, audio, and video for the Web and beyond. Utilizing a subset of XAML (eXtensible Application Markup Language)-based Windows Presentation Foundation technology, “WPF/E” will enable the creation of content and applications that run within multiple browsers and operating systems (Windows and Macintosh) using Web standards for programmability. Consistent with Web architecture, the XAML markup is programmable using JavaScript and works well with ASP.NET AJAX. Broadly available for customers in the first half of 2007, “WPF/E” experiences will require a lightweight browser plug-in made freely available by Microsoft.
