Tehre was such an outcry for useful LOB app tools that they caved and began adding capabilities to it. There have been a few interesting blog posts recently talking about the convergence of silverlight and wpf into a single code base. You'll probably see it slow down after the next 1 or two releases. We have a rich tool now for building LOB apps.

Sounds familiar :-)

I just thought that since your release is over a year away, you might actually want to use beta stuff at this point to be on top of the curve when you finally release.
