After "the biggest product launch in Microsoft's history", Windows Vista is now available in a store near you and via fine merchants online. This is a culmination of years of work done by my teams and countless others in Microsoft, hardware & software partners and OEMs. In the WPF team, as elsewhere, we've fervently believed: "if you build it, they will come". So although I don't claim to speak for Microsoft on this blog, above all, a big shout out to all of the developers and creative professionals who patiently evaluated our CTPs, Betas and the like and gave us great feedback; and to the people who continue to bet their businesses on our platforms, frameworks and APIs. Thank you for your support. Please keep telling us what we're doing wrong, and what we're getting right. Here's to building applications we've dreamed of!
