Hello,
Rob Relyea - the XAML spec owner at Microsoft (Mr. XAML) - wrote up
a blog story titled "3rd public release of Avalon...a few details on
the development experience" announcing that the first beta for the
Avalon library for Windows XP is now available for download as part of
the new WinFX SDK package.
Rob writes:
I'm happy that this release will able to run on Windows XP (and
Windows Server 2003 too). I have this build running on my laptop with
xp sp2, and it has very little impact on my daily use unless I'm
building an application and running it.
Installing VS beta1, Avalon, and then WinFX SDK will give you a
decent VS development experience for Avalon applications.
We have 4 project templates for Visual Basic or C# developers.
* Avalon Application
* Avalon Browser Application - will run in Internet Explorer by just
changing a property in the .csproj or .vbproj file
* Avalon Navigation Application
* Avalon Control Library
In the xml editor, while editing a XAML page, you should get decent
intellisense since the WinFX SDK installs a schema for Avalon class
use in XAML. Look in %programfiles%\microsoft visual studio
8\xml\schemas\ for avalon*.xsd and xaml*.xsd
No visual designer yet... :-(
F1 Help works from C# or VisualBasic code. In the XML Editor
though, it is broken in this build.
No major XAML syntax changes in this build, but many changes to the
elements and other features you can use.
Give it a try...would love to see what you can do with it...

If anyone tries out the new WinFX package for Windows XP, let us
know how it goes and what you think.
