It looks great, but why doesn't any of the WPF stuff (including "Interactive Designer") work on AMD processors? That seems like a pretty big oversight. I'm getting an immediate crash on XP with an A64-4400 CPU. Is there any fix to the WPF problem? Or is it just to wait for the next CTP? Thanks! - Anonymous

There are issues present in the January 2006 CTP of WinFX that may keep it from running correctly on processors other than an Intel® Pentium® 4. You may experience erratic behavior while running Expression Interactive Designer or other WinFX applications on an older Intel (Pentium 3 or older), 64-bit, or AMD processor. These issues have been resolved, and the fixes will be included in the next release of WinFX.
