Hi
Thankyou for those that have kept this discussion going, and for the responses from the P&P team.

I'd like to provide some input here too. For the last 2-3 years my team has been developing a large complex corporate GIS LOB app (SL5, Prism, MVVM, MEF, WCF, EF, SQL Server). I am very happy with this architecture. This app has just gone live (on Windows XP) and we are now embarking on the next stages of the project to add increased functionality over the next 2-3 years.

I was concerned to read in this thread that there are no plans for modular apps in Windows 8 LOB apps. Our system needs to be modular due to it's size and complexity.

In the next few years we may upgrade our desktops to Windows 8, but I can't see a way forward at the moment for us to migrate our new application to Windows 8 and we would need to keep it running in the Desktop mode as a Silverlight application.

It's good that the underlying skillsets do have a place in Windows 8. But as an architect, I can't see how we can develop complex corporate LOB apps. Perhaps I'm missing something?

Regards,
Peter
