(I have been working with it for a while now, but lately I haven't been doing much else). Once one gets used to the new paradigm, this is a great platform. But, there is a serious learning curve. Bigger than the step from DOS to Windows I would say.

Markus,
Thank you for your input. I will google for WPF to find some novice articles (as I know nothing about it).
