WPF Composite Client

After the announcement about the death of Acropolis, Glenn just announced that the patterns & practices team will develop WPF Composite Client guidance for building composite client applications for .NET Framework 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008. This is not a new version of CAB . It is an entirely new set of  libraries and guidance, built from the ground up, targeting development of new WPF Composite applications. The target is to have all of the new guidance ship before the end of 2008.
