You must be kidding right?
WPF is flexible and allows 3D effects and such, I'll grant you that. 
However, my laptop almost exploded of the stress of just showing a 
freaking window with it, and it's a relativly new laptop.
it'a redicolus that what a pentium 2 running Linux and compiz can do 
requires a 64-_core_ super computer with MS tech.
I'm not sure even my new month old icore7 pc can handle the requirements 
of that particular API.

I'll wait till WPF version 40 SP100 before I'll try it again...
