Couple of Questions about WPF

[Cheetah]

Hi there,

Am I right in assuming WPF is only for XP and Vista? or can it be used in applications that run on Windows 2000 (assuming they have .NET 3.5 installed?).

For an application with a decent amount of graphical WPF used, would you need a fast PC?

Does anyone know of any applications (apart from Yahoo messenger) that use WPF, preferably a stand-alone application that I can just run?

Thanks.

Also check the WPF site at http://windowsclient.net/, there are samples at Downloads section, showcases at Community section.

If you install SP2 you can have it in XP and Win 2003 as well.
