Via dotnetkicks[^]: Yahoo is demoing at CES[^] their next generation Yahoo Messenger, built in .NET 3 and WPF. Looks great! :cool:

Yahoo is pretty slick sometimes....what's the vote here, yahoo or google for cool apps? Google seems to lack some polish to me, even though their apps are on the cutting edge sometimes they seem plain jane.

Google builds better web interfaces than Google Yahoo (*edit* heheh), IMO. For client interfaces, they're about the same. It's not either company's specialty, that's for sure.

Call me prejudiced, but I've yet to find an app that looks and handles slick.

True...perhaps because good software devs aren't usually good UI designers?

I'm beginning to think we have a new candidate for he-who-shall-not-be-named.

I think Excel 2007 does the trick. :)

Naw, he-who-shall-not-be-named is amusing, in a twisted kind of way. It's easy to get him to fly off the handle and have a truly atomic flamefest. The other guy is just sad.

Does it include the usual spyware and other junkware? [OT] Is WPF fully supported under Windows XP?

Yes Lotus Notes is at the level I aspire to reach someday. The attention to detail is amazing and it almost works sometimes. :)
