The WPF
Text team has been really busy this release. Not only did we have
the huge text improvements early on from the complete rewrite to a
DirectWrite-based text stack, but now they've tweaked the WPF text rendering to be even
better, especially on high-contrast light-on-dark
scenarios.
Can you tell the difference between the GDI VS2008 text
rendering and the new WPF GDI-compatible text rendering? I can't.
More importantly, the text is superb for reading.
In previous versions of WPF, the number one complaint I heard
from my customers was about text rendering. The team really took
those issues to heart for this release and have done some amazing
work. This is just icing on that cake. I'm pretty psyched that
these enhancements made it in before RTM.

Great job!
