As the line between “Web Application” and “Windows Client Application” continues to blur those clever rascals at Microsoft Research have been prototyping a new “Social Desktop”
From Microsoft Research …..
The Social Desktop blends the Web and PC by embedding Web oriented sharing inside your desktop, allowing every document to have the ability to have a backing social URL for sharing without having to upload or copy or move it from it’s natural location. This url provides access not just to the file, but to a built in social experience which includes a rich preview of each item, comments, related items, tags, etc. Whenever friends comment with this social link via the web browser, the conversation is also available directly in Windows, and vice versa.

Are you bring the web to your WPF or Windows Forms application and integrating ASP.NET, WCF, Live or Azure services ?
Write and let me know.
I would like to see this approach for an enterprise desktop that could use SharePoint for it’s backend.
I would like to see an enterprise version of this that uses SharePoint as it’s backend to improve social networking in the enterprise and document visibility.
hmm, have been waiting for web and windows forms to be blurred since .NET 1.0! Would be nice if ‘browser window’ was just a property of a WPF form. And any joy with creating virtual (desktop) islands inside a web page? Or dragging and dropping a SL web page as a WPF desktop form as per JavaFX?
