With the advent of the Windows Vista Presentation Foundation and the new Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) stunning 3D visualizations of your applications and animations will be easy to implement. The new Windows Live™ services and Vista Sidebar Gadgets lead to a new generation of customized mini-applications meeting your customers' needs. The Panel is the place to collect showcases of the new user experiences and provide insights on how they were implemented.

Each featured project provides the applications as well as the source code and explanation in order to help you leverage the new technologies and build better user experiences. The MSDN Flash newsletter will update you on the project status, once you have registered to the Panel as a participant.
