    Avalon Technology Preview for Public

    Here! The News Whore hit AO again! Microsoft has release a public preview of Avalon, the next windows GUI. The preview also includes the WinFX SDK to develop Avalon ready application. It a good 262MG download so get those modems surfing!

    "Avalon" is the code name for Microsoft's unified presentation subsystem for Windows. It consists of a display engine and a managed-code framework. "Avalon" unifies how Windows creates, displays, and manipulates documents, media, and user interface. This enables developers and designers to create visually-stunning, differentiated user experiences that improve customer connection. When it ships, scheduled for 2006, "Avalon" will be available on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and all future releases of the Windows operating system. When delivered, "Avalon" will become Microsoft's strategic user interface (UI) technology. The "Avalon" Community Technology Preview (CTP) became available to the MSDN members in November of 2004. It is our pleasure to release the same build to the general public in response to numerous requests.

    MG
    Perhaps Mega-Googleflops

    sort of like 10 to the power of 6 multiplied by 10 to the 12th power... a bloody big number and what we would expect with MS software.. this one is slightly bloated piece of gear..

    Look how close are the letter G and B on your keyboard! (At least on a qwerty keyboard). You'll understand why I wrote MG instead of MB.
