I just installed 3.0 and the IDE extentions to take a look at WPF... and it
was more like, WTF. Random errors, crashes, hanging on compile. Um... what
gives? Is this a throwaway release?

Yes. .NET 3.5 and VS2008 are the latest releases and more stable then
the CTP Extensions for VS2005 from early 2006(?).

Using WPF in 2005 is a bit cumbersome... Workflows work well, but WPF,
not so much. I found that the best way to do wpf in 2005, was pretty
much just to ignore the designer and hand code the xaml. In fact, a lot
of the times I would use XamlPad or XamlPadX to do the basic layouts,
and then use the ide to clean it up....

It seems better in 2008 - though, now I'm in the habit of hand coding
the Xaml :)
