• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF is going be absent in First Vista Release

  Hello all, I am reading on some news groups that WPF is not going to be there in initial release of windows vista. Does anyone knows more about it I cannot imagine vista without WPF. Any thoughts from experts Thanks Basav Until it is final, it is not final. That said, the last I heard (At the Mobility group partner briefing this week), is that WPF will be on the Vista CD, but will be an optional component that the user must select to install. It will not be installed by default. This is largely because the WPF and WCF components install together, and WCF has a large security surface. ...Show All
