2007 brought updates for a number of important presentation technologies, including Windows Vista, which contains the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), and Visual Studio 2008, which includes a new version of Windows Forms, and an updated Visual Studio Tools for Office for building Office-based clients. Also released in 2007 was Silverlight 1.0, Microsoft's new platform for Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), which uses a subset of the Windows Presentation Foundation for UI design and is primarily designed to support digital video. Silverlight 2.0, which is likely to appear by the end of 2008, will be the first version of the platform to support programming with .NET Framework languages rather than JavaScript.
Major updates to presentation technologies are likely with the next versions of the .NET Framework and Visual Studio (not officially named, but called .NET Framework 4 and Visual Studio 10 here), but details have not been released. InfoPath will also probably receive a major update (called InfoPath 14 here) in 2009 with the next major release of the Office suite.
