WARNING: Geek Post

As much as possible, we try to keep the high-tech conversation behind the curtain of the Nxtbook blog because we believe that our publishers care about delivering cool content, not necessarily how we do it.

That being said, we’ve been paying a lot of attention to some of the cutting-edge designers who’ve been playing with the new .wpf tools from Windows, which are designed to work with the new version of Windows which may (or may not) debut in early ’07.

Most people know that Nxtbooks are designed using Flash technology and as Flash continues to get even better, we expect to keep using it. However, the .wpf technology is worth keeping our eyes on, because there are some potentially cool features that publishers might want to use, and if so, we’ll plan on incorporating them into our technology.

At any rate, an experienced Flash designer has been working with .wpf for almost a month now and has posted his thoughts about what rocks (and what doesn’t) about the technology. If you’re interested in Flash or .wpf click here for a really great comparison on the technologies.
