WPF (not a language, it's a desktop UI framework): Windows Media Center (you have to jump through hoops to get it on modern windows, but I feel it's worth it). Here's what it looks like for those who aren't running windows or don't want to install. http://youtu.be/MSvME6zR7gU http://youtu.be/MSvME6zR7gU As far as I know it hasn't changed much since Vista. I still consider it one of the best examples of what a WPF experience can be like. You can use WPF with any CLI (.Net) language, but C# is preferred. WPF is windows only (windows presentation foundation) and can't be used with mono as far as I know.
