Some high-end Windows-specific features of WPF, such as real 3-D, hardware-based video acceleration, and full document support, will not be supported in Silverlight. This is by design to support Silverlight's cross-browser, cross-platform reach scenario, which demands a light-weight plug-in. However, Silverlight will offer a uniform runtime that can render identical experiences across browsers on both Mac OS and Windows.
In addition, because both WPF and Silverlight support XAML, . NET, and role-specific tools namely Visual Studio and Expression Studio, designers and developers will be able to use the same skills and the same tools to build continuum user experiences spanning connected desktop applications for Windows to rich interactive applications/media experiences for the Web.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
