Yahoo! Messenger on WPF!

Posted By: Larry Larsen | Mar 1st, 2007 @ 6:34 PM
Flashback: Last night Karsten Januszewski tipped us off to a really cool new WPF version of their instant messenger application from Yahoo! Jeff and I dropped by today to check it out. This is a good example of how WPF is going to change the applications that we use every day. In this demo, we can see how contacts can be dynamically grouped and how the application seamlessly floats between a windowed application and the Vista Sidebar.

Wow! (no pun intended) It looks like a huge challenge to the Windows Live Messenger Team Smiley

Yes, it is actually rather surpring that there are, to my knowledge,  nothing similar from the Live Messenger team.
One would think that they have an advantage of being close to the WPF team. But probably something is around the corner for an upcoming beta of Live Messenger.

This is indeed a challenge for the Live Messenger team.
To my knowledge, there are nothing similar using the WPF technology from them.
But I am pretty sure that something is waiting around the corner for an upcoming beta of the Live Messenger.
