I would be interested in hearing this also, but one question IT managers routinely ask is, "How long??". And from what I can see, WPF just adds level(s) of complexity that will only push development timelines out father. if it's going to take a 'designer' getting into the mix and adding that layer into the development cycle, I'd bet most IT managers would say no thanks. I mean, other than large web development companies, who uses 'Designers'???
