One of the reasons WPF/E is going to give Flash a real run for it's money is the video story. Unlike Flash, Silverlight (the new name) will support DRM, it supports the industry standard VC-1 codec used in HD-DVD and Blueray, and it can take advantage of the built-in media streaming capabilities...

So it was a non-coding week but a range of links did catch my interest: Silverlight/WPF Laurent Duveau lets us know that Expression Studio is now available on MSDN. Ashish posts a lot of links related to WPF. Brad Abrans posts about...

Links that have caught my interest this week are: Silverlight Ernie has created a cool plugin for reflector...
