Windows Vista Forums on DotNetJunkies

I created five new threaded discussion forums for Windows Vista (the operating system formerly known as "Longhorn"):

  • AERO
    AERO stands for Authentic, Energetic, Reflective, and Open and is the user experience guidelines for Windows Vista, governing the look and feel of the operating system.
  • Windows Presentation Foundation (Avalon)
    Windows Presentation Foundation (formerly code name "Avalon") is the presentation subsystem class libraries in WinFX.
  • Windows Communication Foundation (Indigo)
    Windows Communication Foundation (formerly code name "Indigo") is a set of .NET technologies for building and running connected systems. It is a new breed of communications infrastructure built around the Web services architecture.
  • InfoCard
    "InfoCard" is the code name for a WinFX component that provides the consistent user experience required by the identity metasystem.
  • RSS in Windows Vista
    Today RSS is primarily used for news sites, blogs, and increasingly for audio-based serialized content. But RSS has the potential for broader reach and to more deeply integrate the information it delivers across applications of various kinds.
