Will Orcas target Win XP?

[David Veeneman]

Will Orcas target Windows XP (using .NET 3.0) when using WPF, or will it
only target Vista? I'm getting ready to start a project on which I'd like to
use WPF, but I'm going to have to target both XP and Vista computers. Thanks

WPF is a part of .NET 3.0, and .NET 3.0 is supported on Windows XP SP2. So
you can build applications using WPF and WCF and run them on Vista and XP
machines.

Have you installed WPF/WCF yet? If you want the installation links and the
order thereof (which does matter), post back and I'll post them. If you've
already installed them, never mind.

'Orcas' is the codename of the upcoming version of VS, it's target is Framework V3.5.
WPF, WFC, WF are part of the V3 Framework library ( a released product) , but have strictly
speaking nothing to do with Orcas.
