But given that this is MS or this is a research projcet, there is no public road map available. @antrix, it should be easy.

I currently prefer C#. But am inclined to learn enough IronPython / Boo to be able to use them productively for such tasks. @Ashwin, not sure if this is the right language for prototyping or to write small utilities.

Not just kids, even adults (*wink*) might find it useful for small tasks since (it seems like) creating a window and filling it with content takes so less code. :-) Thanks for writing about this!
