I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

He's quite successful in generating clicks (and therefore ad views) with his idiotic posts, so I'me sure he's well liked (payed) by PC Magazine.

You should have used joke icon. There is no sense whatsoever in that post. I am not that old to remember anything before 1996 but I am pretty sure Windows and MS Office were not dead then. Hell, this post was typed from a Win7 computer which uses MS Office.

If you check Microsoft stock statistics, they are making $22 billion in yearly profits. "Dead" product lines don't produce billions in yearly profits, and having billions of dollars in your bank account doesn't sap your self-confidence dry.
The simplest conclusion from Microsoft's recent actions is that it's having a hard time finding good investment opportunities, so it's settling for any reasonable ones it can find. At worst, this is a moderately bad sign to Microsoft investors and not a sign of "death".

As a WPF developer for years I was recently concerned by the new direction chosen by Microsoft on its client platforms with the rise of the brand new WinRT framework. WPF FTW? FWIW

To whom are you referring, Greg Levenhagen or the author of the blog post?

Only reasonable from your point of view because you know what you meant.
Your sentence structure was ambiguous from the point of view of someone who is not inside your head.

The second sentence is even worse. You use the word "like" twice in a row, and all you say is that one should not read into things, but you don't make clear which side you're on.
Can't you just clarify what you meant without making a big deal out of it?

M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

It's what I think whenever I'm near WPF, so I don't know how I could have missed it.

I am so glad I haven't invested gobs of time learning this stuff.
WPF is mature
Uh...Sort of like my jar of moldy pickles in the fridge? I could come with some more graphic images of "mature", but I'll spare you. From the little I've dabbled with WPF, a not insignificant portion of time is spent working around WPF's shortcomings.
