The Acropolis incubation project has been a great learning experience for us and we have received a lot of great feedback that will keep us very busy for quite a while.
For example, many developers have told us that they are very excited about the ability to compose WPF applications from re-usable parts and services, and the ability to focus on application business logic rather than application plumbing. We also heard many times that the ability to plug and play different patterns for layout, navigation and transitions was a good way to realize some of the power of WPF without having to be a WPF expert. But we heard from many of you that we need to provide many more out of the box components in order to support the full range of applications that you want to build. This is an area we will be looking very closely at in the future.
