A new, highly interesting project with a terribly long name: Microsoft now offers the "Syndicated Client Experiences Starter Kit & Reader SDK" for download.

If you know the New York Times Reader, you have seen what you will be able to build using this SDK - a WPF based fat *cough* smart client, that enables the visualization and synchronization of text, pictures, videos and podcasts with a server.

The strengths of the client are synchronization which uses the Microsoft Sync Framework based Subscription Center as well as visualization, that is completely configurable and optimized for on-screen reading of atricles.

The site also offers a great, free sample of what can be done with the Syndicated Client Experiences Starter Kit & Reader SDK: The MSDN Reader.
