    Great release. Silverlight is looking better and better.

    I understand the need to proceed slowly on some of this stuff, and make sure that you get certain things right before moving on. However, is there anywhere to get a timeline of what you've got planned for Silverlight vNext? Of particular interest is the possibility of 3D support. I'm currently working on a project that will be good in Silverlight 2, but will really pop if I could get some 3D action going.

    Even just a simple confirmation or denial would help me know where to concentrate my energies. :)
