@Unbeh: It lags a LOT, but if you wait, the MSI will finally come up.

Avalon is a secondary GUI/Graphics rendering system. It uses the XAML language, which is new from Microsoft. it does a bunch of different things, like new GUIs for applications, and graphics. I'll post a cool screenshot in a while.

EDIT: Note; this is for Visual Studio 2005 Beta developers and people interested in developing programs with XAML. More info here.
