I really think this page needs a rewrite. It's hard to tell who the audience is for. If this is for people wishing to learn about the technical details of WPF, it's basically worthless, as it's a bunch of random stuff about the API without much information on the structure or implementation of it. If this is for non-technical people, the entire article is WAY too complicated. The structure is also rather poor, as it is basically a bullet-point list of stuff that people have added over time; this creates no real structure. ClamIAm 02:43, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
The section on OpenGL is not related to WPF. WPF operates through DirectX but it is essentially a usermode framework. Concerns about OpenGL should be moved to WGF or Windows_vista
When is the expected release date?
- It's already out! http://www.netfx3.com/blogs/news_and_announcements/archive/2006/11/06/.NET-Framework-3.0-has-been-released_2100_.aspx
[edit] Legal issues
Is it based on any proprietary technology or patents? Pgr94 02:44, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

- Frankly, who cares? :-)
WPF/E is a subset of WPF, and stands for "Windows Presentation Foundation Everywhere". It is basically a mobile version of WPF, I think this is a little confusing. Isn't WPF/E more like a plug-in similar to Falsh. Maybe use "Plug-in" instead of "mobile version"
[edit] Confusing ?
How is this topic any more or less confusing than articles such as the Python language?
Yes, it does need some smoothing out - probably a better 'executive level' summary before explaining the parts of this framework would help give managers interviewing developer candidates just enough information to know if/when someone is blowing smoke.
Then again, how else would one explain how microsoft developers are going to hook into the windows architecture without having to know the gory details on used to have to learn via the Windows API? Meandean 09:14, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Complete Nonsense ?
I have tremendous difficulty with the sentence, "Applications written in WPF are visually of a higher quality." What does this mean precisely? It is a weighted and completely biased assesment. An acceptable statement should discuss the differences of visual rendering compared to previous methods. Additionally, it must provide citation to present the claim in a respondable manner.
