By now, you've probably heard that .Net 3.0 has been released. That means it's really time to start digging into Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), and Windows CardSpace. I'm already working through WPF.

So, what do you need to get started?
- Visual Studio 2005
- .Net 3.0 Framework
- Visual Studio Extensions for .Net Framework 3.0 (WCF & WPF) (Codename Cider) You only need this for WPF/WCF.
- Visual Studio Extensions for .Net Framework 3.0 (Windows Workflow Foundation) You only need this for WF.

I also suggest you get the Microsoft® Windows® Software Development Kit for Windows Vista™ and .NET Framework 3.0 Runtime Components.

You do NOT need Windows Vista to run this. It will all run on Windows XP, although some features only run on Vista and Windows 2003 Server.
