Some nice uses of .NET Framework 3.0 in Vista

Official Windows Vista Magazine, running as an XBAP in WPF

British Library - Da Vinci Codex etc.

Nice find! The vista magazine was interesting

For those living in the past with XP (only joking) you can view the sites in all their glory by installing .NET Framework 3.0

Hmm I get a dialog box saying "XAML Browser Application".

What do I do? Save it, or open it with something? I tried opening it with "Windows Presentation Foundation something or other" but it loads a million untitled tabs.

Must be doing something wrong.

If you have Vista or XP & .NET 3.0 you should just be able to click on the link and up it pops.

Nice site!

Should I remove .NET 2.0 before installing 3.0?

And why is 1.1 still available?

Very impressive. Very impressive indeed.

Screenshot's wouldn't do it justice i'm afraid. You wouldn't be able to capture how the pages turn

Different .NET versions can be installed side-by-side. So don't worry about it.

.NET 1.1 applications will need the 1.1 runtime. 2.0 apps' need the 2.0 runtime. 3.0 app's need the 3.0 runtime, etc.

Definately keep 2.0 installed as far more software uses that at the moment. 3.0 only came out a couple months back.

Nice site!

Indeed, Very nice site

You should keep all three installed (although installing 3.0 will also install 2.0 because it's really just a few extras on top of the old version)

If you can live with each page taking up 355mb of RAM (just for the module, not including the browser), then that's fine

Seriously, by the time this sort of thing's the norm, we'll all have überbytes of RAM, so probably won't be a problem - it'll also be fair to say the coding won't be overly optimised as of now. And it does look very, very funky!

Of course, making taking away the exclusivity to IE/MS would be a nice start to popularity

 

[point decay]

did you install anything to get the pages to load?, running vista and just getting a page telling me how many bytes have been loaded (which never goes above 0)

Heard of WPF/E? WPF is coming to OSX and mobile phones... A CTP beta was released just recently too.

It is inevitable. HTML/CSS has been stagnant for years - it's going no where.

PS: What's all the memory usage crap you made up about?
