At the blogger day today in Redmond, Microsoft is demoing the next version of its Expression Design Suite development tools. The tools will enter beta next year at Mix07. A lot of the development talk is a bit over my noggin', but the demos they showed were cool and will bring a new level of interactivity to the Web.
The new tools include a new programming library called "Windows Presentation Format/Everywhere." You can demo some of these rich Web applications on Channel 9. All of these unique web applications will require a plug-in to run, similar to Flash, according to Scott Guthrie.
What's clear from watching the demo is that the Web is going to become a lot more interactive when you factor in Ajax, Flash and now WPF/E. All of this will accelerate the death of the page view metric.
