WPF FAQ

  1. Does WPF enable me to do something I couldn’t
    have done before?

          No.  Unless you factor in time & money…

  1. Is DirectX dead?

          No.  It is more applicable to advanced 3D developers writing
          hard-core “twitch” games

  1. Are Winforms dead?

          No.  …but it will not be advanced; the last version was 2.0 in NET 2005
          WPF / Winforms Bastardization
          Windows 98 Supports WinForms

  1. Does WPF run better on Vista than on XP?

          Yes
          3D objects only get anti-aliasing on Windows Vista or Later
          Non-rectangular windows only get hardware acceleration on Vista
          Vista has a driver model that helps with resource contention
