Vista - Updated WPF blog - with 3D navigation

I have updated the WPF blog for June CTP:

http://www.valil.com/Valil.Blog/Valil.Blog.xbap

The new feature is the blog navigation - use "Navigation" button to enter,
click on the left/right "tiles" (even if they are not visible) to navigate
and click on the front "tile" to exit navigation mode.

Hi. I have problems getting into your site after the initial loading screen.
The error details are available, if you want them.

I'm running Vista Beta 2.

It will not work in Beta 2 (build 5384), you will need Windows Vista June CTP
(build 5456).

I am having trouble with the navigation. I have the June CTP installed.
When I press the "navigation" button, I see two pages, but I can only
click on the one which was opened previously (the one standing in
front). I cannot see the other page. Additionally, the animation is
extremely slow, as opposed to the animation used to display the books,
which works great.

Any idea?

Thanks,
Laurent

Thank you for your feedback, Laurent.

Regarding the speed: The navigation uses VisualBrush, the books are just
Images so the navigation will be slower. What is the configuration of the
computer (CPU, RAM, GPU)? The animation works fine on a P4 with 512 MB RAM
and a GeForce FX 5200.

Regarding the navigation: You have to click in the empty space on the left
of the main page (where a page would be). It is a little unintuitive, so I
will change the behaviour when I am going to update the application for July
(August?) CTP.

Man, this is great work. Thanks for making it available?

Any chance you've made the source available, and I've overlooked the
location of the files? If not, could you make it available??
