I have been studying the new MS programming model for a few days now and
I've been pleasently surprised at how close some aspects of it (the UI
Definitions) are to what I'm doing with Win32lib. There is almost a
one-to-one correspondance in conceptual terms. They are using an XML-like
syntax and I'm using a more concise syntax (similar to SMEL but even
smaller).

As for changing from an OO model to a Messaging model, I'm pleased because
this is what I'm planning for win32lib, and a lot of my apps tend to be like
this now anyway.
