I'd be curious to hear a response from the Infragistics WPF team regarding issues Rockford raises in his post today.
Why so few WPF/XAML grid controls?
Infragistics does offer a robust suite of WPF controls as well as a free grid. WPF is a new technology and naturally our offering will continue to grow as the technology matures. Next week, in fact, we will launch NetAdvantage for WPF 7.2. New features will include:
XamRibbon--brings to market a highly flexible control that incorporates many of the capabilities of the Office 2007 Ribbon. It provides the Quick Access Toolbar, the Application Menu, Galleries, Tabs, Contextual Tabs, user customization, and the ability to reposition tool items based on the size of the ribbon.
XamChart--multiple chart types in both 2D and 3D rendering styles. This undoubtedly adds a new class of applications that can be easily built on the WPF Platform. The controls support a multitude of chart types, drilldowns, and fully utilize the power of WPF from Lighting Effects, Rich Styling, to Animations
Hope this helps,

Seems Rockford may have been on to something. I'm sure you guys attended Rob Relyea's presentation at MIX? (I ran into Xceed and Telerik; looked for y'all...). Andrew's post didn't really scratch the itch. How about another shot at it? Is Josh Smith allowed to contribute? I'd enjoy hearing his reaction.
