Microsoft WPF

Windows Presentation Foundation (or WPF) is a technology that helps developers to create rich user interfaces for Windows-based applications. Runtime libraries are included in all versions of Microsoft Windows starting with Microsoft Vista and Windows Server 2008.

Advantages

Ability to create rich user interfaces relatively easy
Capabilities to create animations and special effects
Resolution-independent graphical core, which uses hardware acceleration for drawing the graphical user interface, thus enhancing performance
Powerful styling and skinning structure
Multimedia integration support
Culturally-aware controls
Ability to run in a browser (the same code base can be used as desktop application and as web-based application)

Disadvantages

Learning to work with WPF takes time, as this is a more complex technology
WPF's in-box control suite is far more limited than that of WinForms
WPF applications cannot not run on Windows 2000 or lower
Reduced community support

Development tools
