The Monkeys Have Hit The Button
Lashiec:
WPF hasn't been used that much by actual applications, but from what I know is hardware-accelerated.

Graphics drawing speed isn't everything - have you tried resizing the control panel in Vista? Graphics are smooth enough, but it feels super laggy. if that is because it's a WPF program, then WPF sucks :)
electronixtar:
I wonder which new Vista API calls they're using in order to make it initially non-XP compatible? Seems relatively retarded and pretty incompetent to me, especially when considering the huge base of XP installs still available...
Don't tell me they require DX10 for the shell :P

control pannel is laaaaagy because Windows has to collect *.cpl under system32.
btw Silverlight is built on top of WPF.
IMHO WPF is just a 'managed' version of GDI

That has nothing to do with the lag I'm talking about - I'm talking about resizing the GUI, which feels about as laggy as X11 applications on linux (and that's a frigging disgrace).
