Windows Presentation Foundation (formerly codename "Avalon") sets a new bar for what you should expect from graphics functionality, from the breadth of capabilities that it brings together, to the consistency that it presents, simplifying your development process. The Windows Presentation Foundation is designed to benefit from present and future advances in hardware acceleration. Learn about the key advances in graphics, along with the new opportunities that it enables across 2D and 3D graphics, text, imaging, effects, audio, video, and animation. Beyond the functionality in each of these areas, you also learn how the power of graphics seamlessly integrates with user interface controls and with advances in Windows Vista, in relation to printing and remoting.
If you are at all interested in WPF, you should add Pablo to your OPML list, and definitely read his Windows Presentation Foundation - Graphics Under the Hood post.
On a side note, I wonder why Pablo is using Serendipity as his blog engine (which is PHP based) instead of an ASP.Net based engine like Das Blog, .Text, or CommunityServer.
