I had a look at the new World Wide Telescope created by Microsoft Research today. Like scoble I also wanted to cry when I saw it, but perhaps not for the same reason. Unlike scoble (who did it for publicity) I felt like crying because it seemed like what COULD have been a great showcase for WPF instead stooped to “legacy” technologies. Please MS - WPF was _made_ for creating these kind of apps. If you're not going to  use it to build things like this then why should anyone else?
