    Right now, Greg's blog seems to be the best source of information related to the new WPF features. Is there any other documentation available that can help us learn about things like the improvements to WriteableBitmap, etc.?

    Hi Rob- Have you taken a look at Tim Sneath's blog? It provides a pretty good overview of the changes we have made in SP1 (Greg's blog is pretty focused on graphic features). With respect to more detailed documentation, the SDK team is working on updating the content on MSDN, but I'll follow up to see if I can find a definitive list of features and associated documentation.
