WPF, Silverlight, Virtual Earth... Oh My!

Earlier this week I helped out with a presentation to customers that took them through our latest and greatest user experience platform. Michael Kordahi (aka Delicate Genius, I haven't asked why) showed a heap of awesome demos, many of which I haven't seen before, and some of which even worked when the customers were watching! All of the demos he showed were of live applications or free demos, so I thought I'd share some of them here. If you haven't been following these technologies closely, these are well worth a look as they are way cool!
