Microsoft makes WinFX move
Microsoft on Tuesday made the WinFX Beta 2 release available with a Go Live license, giving the green light for early adopters to deploy applications in production environments using the WinFX managed APIs.
A Go Live license also is featured for the Windows Presentation Foundation presentation subsystem that is part of WinFX.
Microsoft announced the beta at the Windows Hardware and Engineering Conference (WinHEC) in Seattle.
WinFX offers a unified programming model that is a superset of the Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 combined Windows Presentation Foundation, the Windows Communication Foundation Web services technology and the Windows Workflow Foundation workflow engine. InfoCard identity management technology also is featured.
A core part of the Windows Vista OS, WinFX enables developers to build modern applications and experiences that are more reliable and secure, according to Microsoft. WinFX also focuses on information management and collaboration.
The beta and the Go Live license are available for download at the Microsoft Download Center, found here.
