With Vista Media Center, you can do some pretty nifty 3D effects for applications built with the new Media Center Markup Language (MCML) and .Net 3.0’s WPF (which “WPF/E” is also based on.
Mobilewares in Melbourne, Australia has released a series of five add-ins for Vista Media Center including a Flickr plug-in and Stock Ticker (seen above). I’m expecting we’ll see some pretty jaw-dropping applications for the technology shortly. The Flickr add-in has a few bugs (it’s beta) but you can easily see the value.
Don’t have Vista Media Center yet? Download stand-alone samples of most of the apps at the site above as well.
Note: Looks like the stock app beta has expired 😦
