已经有wpf/e ctp和wpf.e sdk的下载连接.但是出现"The download you requested is unavailable"
估计很快就可以下载了.

还有好几个wpf/e的sdk samples, so cool!
1.1M大小的wpf/e要比几十M的.net fx3.0更具备吸引力(而且wpf不支持win 2000),而且可以在mac ,win,mobile等运行,最爽的可以用c#开发。刚开始研究wss 3.0又出wpf/e,要学东西太多。



What features are available in the "WPF/E" CTP?

Rich, interactive media support including interactive 2D animation, text, vector and image graphics, audio and video.
Enhanced Web audio/video playback with industry-leading Windows Media Technologies and existing ecosystem of tools, servers and solutions, as well as new features for interactive video, overlays, and ad insertion.
Cross-platform, cross-browser presentation with friction free install ("WPF/E" Dec 2006 CTP for Windows is just 1.1MB) for Windows and Mac, IE, Firefox, Safari and beyond.
Easily integrates with client and server-based AJAX solutions including ASP.NET AJAX so that developers can use standards based techniques to create Web-based experiences that are enhanced with "WPF/E" seamlessly. Take existing standards/AJAX based applications and enhance the presentation with richer graphics and media.
