Working with WPF. I've done the classic C -> C++ -> VB -> Winforms -> WPF journey for the last two decades, and having invested quite a bit of effort in learning WPF, I am not happy with Microsoft just abandoning it. I believe they will have to come back to it because corporate America is not going to jump on the Windows 8 bandwagon. I'm seeing a lot of companies in my neck of the woods (think oil and gas) that need rich desktop visualization, they are adopting WPF, and like me, they must be unhappy with MS.
Of course, I know I can do WPF 4.0 in VS 2012, but what's the point? The ALL CAPS menus and the monochrome icons that make me squint - just seems like change for the sake of change.
I won't be surprised to see Bill Gates come out of retirement in 2013.
Well, you asked...ha ha.
Keep up the great work no MVVM Light!
