Since pictures speak better than words here are some snapshots of some WPF/E samples:

if WPF/E doesnt ring a bell then read the following

"WPF/E stands for Windows Presentation Foundation Everywhere which is a new vector based standard/language for the web.

 

Its based on a slimdown version of MS WPF which is xml presentation for creating hardware accelerated software and web user interfaces with powerful features including 2D and 3D drawing,  advanced text rendering, vector graphics, raster graphics, animation, data binding, audio and video, but WPF/E wont have some of the advanved 3D stuff. "

 

“WPF/E” (codename) is a browser enhancement module that enables browsers to render rich content in addition to HTML. ‘WPF/E” is compatible with Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0 and also with Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.8 and 2.0. The Dec 2006 CTP will expire on February 18, 2007 at which point when a web page that uses it is rendered, it will prompt the user to update to the latest version.
