    <p><strong>Richard Campbell:</strong> "In the GDI world we
    got a document from Microsoft that
    said you will build your apps in
    battleship gray and here's now they
    should look: File goes here and Help
    goes here, and we all got that as
    developers.  There's no book like that
    for WPF.  There was this idea I've got
    to find the guy in a black turtleneck
    and here is his piece of software and
    you guys go play nice now."</p>

  <p>I think Microsoft now wants every Windows application to look like the ugly, difficult-to-use, hardware-bundled crapware we all hate!</p>
  
  <p>Is there no such best-practices document?</p>
