Hi Guys,

I've bought myself a full copy of VS2008 Professional and thought id have a route around the application properly. While playing with WPF applications i noticed that there is a lot more flexibility with controls and there layouts. I purchased an ebook on the subject and am ploughing through it. The issue i have is i know how to use plain window forms quite well. WPF views programming from an entirely new perspective. This means i have to relearn a lot of what i already know. The "new" way makes a lot of sense and i dont have the hinderince of having many applications under my belt that i need to convert to WPF.

The issue im having is ive been refining my learning concepts to ones that will help me eventually get a programming job or develop applications that i can sell off. Do you guys think that WPF will be adopted by the masses or is it something that will fade of into the distance in flavour of the current style of windows programming. If this is the case i would rather spend my time learning about more relevantly needed features.

So what do you guys think?
