In addition, the team has provided a batch file to enable the Avalon project item templates for use in the beta of Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition, which is also freely available to the general public.
Cooool..... Isn't it?
Wait............... Heeey what is this Avalon (If any one ask this question!)
"Avalon" is the code name for Microsoft's unified presentation subsystem for Windows. It consists of a display engine and a managed-code framework. "Avalon" unifies how Windows creates, displays, and manipulates documents, media, and user interfaces, which enables developers and designers to create visually-stunning, differentiated user experiences that improve customer connection.
Ok..... The picture above shows: 3D Graphics.. Right? so what's new about 3D?
