WinFX = .NET 3.0 ~ = Win2008 ?

Did this come true?
"By now any seasoned .NET developer is used to getting their hands dirty by mixing Win32 unmanaged code (necessary for shell/OS integration) with pure .NET managed code. Fortunately this will all soon change with WinFX, a pure .NET “managed” operating system and API, that will finally remove the dependence on Interop, and provide access to the base operating system in managed .NET code"

ASP.NET MVC

Scott Mitchell says

"In a nutshell, ASP.NET MVC allows developers much finer control over the markup rendered by their web pages, a greater and clearer separation of concerns, better testability, and cleaner, more SEO-friendly URLs."


and in his first mention of jQuery


" jQuery can certainly be used in an ASP.NET application, although integrating client-side script into a Web Forms application can sometimes be a bit trying. JavaScript development fits more naturally with ASP.NET MVC applications; in fact, the ASP.NET MVC framework includes the jQuery libraries. "
