    We've been waiting for this. So far Win7 RTM seems rock solid and for .NET developers this code pack is pure gold.

    The Ribbon UI isn't included in this library (probably a future addition). However, there is a WPF version (in .NET 4.0 I think), which is not the same as the native Win7 Ribbon APIs.

    Charlie, This is great news.  I've got a couple questions: Will this be part of the .NET 4.0 framework library?   And, will it run with VS2010 Beta 1?

    This won't be part of the .NET framework 4.0. As far as VS2010 Beta 1, the core library seems to work and build without any changes. The DX library/samples might have some issues building.

    No multitouch in the 1.0 release of code pack. Probably a future release addition... I did a quick search and these seem promising (WPF / Multitouch) http://blog.wpfwonderland.com/2009/06/29/developing-win-7-multi-touch-apps-without-multi-touch-screen/ This one using the native APIs directly (p/invoke) http://blog.andreweichacker.com/2009/02/windows-7-multi-touch-using-wpf/

    Are there any useful functions available in XP (despite the OS checks)? I did not find any, every sample crashes on startup, doesn't find interfaces/GUIDs or just does not do anything.

    I think some of the PowerManagement APIs will work on XP. You can probably verify which method by looking at PowerManager.cs... Rest of the features are Vista/Win7. I think the code pack is officially supported on Windows 7 and Vista only. The purpose is to light up the applications on these OSs. Apps could use the platform checks or System.Envionment.OSVersion to make sure these aren't used on XP (if the app runs on XP and Vista/Win7).
