Microsoft Code Name "Acropolis" July Community Technology Preview is Available

Microsoft Code Name "Acropolis" July Community Technology Preview is available for download.

Overview (from MSDN)
Building on the vision of software + services, Microsoft Code Name “Acropolis” makes it easier to build and manage modular, business-focused, client applications for Microsoft Windows with the .NET Framework. It builds on the rich capabilities of Microsoft Windows and the .NET Framework, including the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), by providing tools and pre-built components that help developers quickly assemble an application from loosely-coupled parts and services. Code Name “Acropolis” reduces the complexities of building occasionally connected client applications and provides the ability to assemble and reconfigure systems without having to write as much code. It is part of the .NET Client Futures release, Microsoft’s preview of upcoming technologies in Microsoft Windows client development, available now at www.windowsclient.net.

There are three downloads. One is an .MSI file that includes the July Community Technology Preview product, and the second download is the set of samples that accompanies this Community Technology Preview. You can also download a .CHM file with the Help documentation.
