Microsoft Surface - Where Your Dreams Are Their Passion

Microsoft Surface

When I write this post, almost everybody knows about Microsoft Surface and is enjoying the future.

From a view, this new product was very interesting for me and that was the usage of WPF in it.

You know that I've been with WPF from early Beta days of .NET Framework 3.0 and have authored several resources about WPF and XAML online.  Due to my passion in this field (and generally in .NET 3.x), many friends and guys who met me were asking about the new stuff in .NET 3.0 and 3.5 and were interested to know what each piece of these frameworks does.

The first thing that I answered to all these guys was there is a new and very cool technology named Windows Presentation Foundation which is all about UI in .NET 3.0 and Windows Vista.Photo taken from http://www.linternaute.com/science/divers/dossiers/06/science-fiction/index.shtml

After this, they were asking same question: "How is it?  Something like GDI or GDI+?".  And my answer:  "Heh!  Are you kidding me?!  It's completely different from your imaginations.  It's something like what you have seen in Science-Fiction movies when actor or actress puts his finger on a board and world behind him or her changes!".

Yes, Science-Fiction movies were the best way to describe WPF for all these questioners for me.  And today, we've reached to that point in real world and Microsoft is about to make it happen for normal people around the world!

In my opinion, still developers haven't reached to more than 50% of WPF capabilities in their applications and there are many things to discover for them.  One of places that I'd like to see the power of WPF is in TV channels where they can replace their traditional digital video effects with new effects that are designed with WPF.

Where had you seen the famous sentence that states "Your Dream is Our Passion"?!

+ What's next?  Probably we'll walk on sky using a new WCF device which connects to a service on earth that gives back the latitude and longitude then calculates our distances from destination point and gets the best path to that point from a central service that has all traffic data.  And what will we do while it's moving us to destination point?!  Working with Microsoft Surface and developing with .NET 10.5!!
