Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)

The Windows Presentation Foundation, WPF, provides a unified framework for building applications and high-fidelity experiences in Windows Vista that blend application UI, documents, and media content. WPF offers developers 2D and 3D graphics support, hardware-accelerated effects, scalability to different form factors, interactive data visualization, and superior content readability.

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)

The move to service-oriented communication has changed software development. Viewing services as a distinct software abstraction is fundamental to service-oriented architecture (SOA), an approach that many organizations are putting in place today. Whether implemented using SOAP or in some other way, applications that interact through services are becoming the norm. Windows Communication Foundation, WCF, Microsoft’s technology for service-oriented applications, is designed to address these requirements.

Windows Workflow Foundation (WF)

Virtually all software used in enterprises today has the same goal: supporting business processes. Some processes are entirely automated, relying solely on communication among applications. Others—probably the majority—also rely on people to initiate the process, approve documents the process uses, resolve any exceptional situations that arise, and more. Microsoft’s Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) was created to address these requirements.
