New Zune software not WPF-based +

image For what it’s worth, this article by Drew Marsh over at hacked.brain laments the fact that the new Zune software is based on Windows Media Center rather than Windows Presentation Foundation. It’s all over my head.

Basically, after seeing the screen shots, I thought to myself that if the new Zune Windows client software was not written with WPF, Microsoft will have made a huge mistake by once again not backing one of their own technologies as a viable platform for developing a real world consumer application. Knowing the type of data this kind of app pushes around, the behavior in the v1.0 client today and looking at the new screen shot, that’s an app that screams WPF.
