Microsoft Code Name "Acropolis" has finally been released to the public as a technology preview.  

Having played with some internal releases it has become clear to me what a huge amount of work the team has put into this technology. I would like to congratulate with this important milestone and will obviously help getting customer feedback.

Features included in Acropolis CTP1 includes:

- Declarative Composition - allows you to declarative program the structure of application components

- Navigation support - manages activation and deactivation of components

- Document Life Time support - manages the life time of a document bject

- Layout Pane - Split style and tab style UI layout that leverages WPF

- Transition Animation - Prepackage transitions built on WPF

... and all these comes with Application Design Time Support!

Note: The CTP1 requires the Visual Studio Codename "Orcas" to run - get it here
