Cross-Platform ?
Actually I never doubted WPF’s power and future, but there is only ONE problem: When WPF support Cross-Platform? Mono team has announced they will NOT have details or decision of converting WPF to on Linux platform since WPF is such a huge project. Then we have to wait information from Microsoft itself. Unfortunately, The WPF team did not give us their plan on Cross-Platform supporting.
