Cider is now announced! In case you missed it at the PDC, Cider is the code
name for the Visual Studio Designer for WPF (pronounced
Avalon according to Chris) that will be delivered in Orcas. We also
announced the Expression product line that includes a different designer called
Sparkle.
Other than the obvious difference between Sparkle and Cider, Cider is in VS,
Sparkle is a stand-alone product, Cider will be a designer for developers,
Sparkle will be a designer targeted at professional designers.
For those that were asking about what I was working on, I wasn't trying to be
coy, I just didn't want to spill the beans early.
I will be more forthcoming in the months ahead and try to keep you up-to-date
with our progress.
If I missed you at the PDC, I am sorry about that. Feel free to ask your
questions here or via e-mail (chuckj directed through microsoft.com).

So do you see Avalon as a flash killer, or does it have a totally different target in your mind?I couldn't make the PDC this year, and I'm still waiting for the 1GB video's to download so I haven't seen this in action yet.... can't wait...
