Codename "Acropolis": merging WPF and business applications

I just learned that Microsoft has announced the first CTP (Community Technology Preview) of "Acropolis", a toolkit to allow business application developers to use Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) to better develop applications. This toolkit can be downloaded from Microsoft Downloads.

From the toolkit's documentation:

Code Name "Acropolis" is a toolkit for creating modular, business-focused Windows client applications. "Acropolis" builds on the.NET Framework, and includes a run-time framework, design-time tools, and out-of-the-box functionality.

Sounds interesting. In fact, tons of stuff are coming from Microsoft for developers alone later this year. The forth-coming autumn will be action packed, that's for sure!
