Some common Acroplis questions
Wow – there has been some really good buzz on acropolis in the last 24 hours… Reading over the blogs and stuff two interesting questions are popping out:
Question: When are you shipping Acropolis!!
Answer: As soon as it is ready ;-) Seriously, we are very early in the cycle here, we came out at Teched to get some early feedback and find out if we are going in the right direction. Acropolis will NOT ship with Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5… Rather it will ship as an “option pack” style release that works super well with your Visual Studio 2008. Later we fully expect to fold in Acropolis into the next major release of Visual Studio and the .NET Framework.Question: Does Acropolis support WinForms
Answer: Yes. While the UI aspects of acropolis (the themes, shell and transitions) are all built using WPF the base component model is UI tier agnostic. We believe it will be common to have “Parts” with “Views” in WinForms for example… Check out the RSSEagle example for more details on this. Further, it is certainly possible to build a full shell in WinForms…. If anyone is interested in working on a WinForms shell for acropolis let me know, we’d be happy to help!

I am amazed that anyone has had time in the last 24 hours to drill in, but a couple of folks have

Can you compare and contrast to CAB and SCSF? Is this CAB for WPF? Is the SCSF going to be sunsetted when Acropolis hits the streets? Are the underpinnings of Acropolis still using Object Builder and DI, or is there another metaphor being used? (Good work by the way, I am looking forward to diving into this )Anonymous

I've known about, tracked and been briefed on Acropolis for a year now. I'm obviously interested given both my Smart Client preferences as well as our extensive use of CAB + SCBAT in our composite Enterprise type of client. Microsoft finally announced
