XTech 2005: XML, the Web and beyond.
"Avalon" is the code name for Microsoft's unified presentation subsystem for Windows XP and beyond. It consists of a display engine and a managed-code framework. "Avalon" unifies how Windows creates, displays, and manipulates documents, media, and user interfaces, which enables developers and designers to create visually-stunning, differentiated user experiences that improve customer connection.
"Avalon" also introduces XAML, a markup language which can declaratively represent user interface for Windows applications, improving the richness of the tools with which developers and designers can compose and repurpose UI.
