> "Avalon." Avalon renders an application's visual elements onto the screen
> using a much more sophisticated approach than Windows has previously 
> used.
> In this article, Ian Griffiths show how this new graphical composition
> model solves various limitations of Win32, what new user interface design
> techniques this enables, and what it means to developers.
