WPF sample applications

Question

Are there any WPF sample applications that showoff the 'coolness' of WPF?

I'm hoping to see some examples of the UI capabilities etc., and general structure and best practices.

(oh, and the install shouldn't be too elaborate hehe)

Answer 1

I've started a project at Codeplex, IncEditor that uses WPF, MVVM and MEF. I think this should be able to give a complete picture of MVVM.

Answer 2

I would check out CodeProject.com, there are dozens if not hundreds of sample apps for WPF. Some of which are really cool.

Answer 3

With expression blend there are some sample apps that are pretty cool
