Yes, you can develop WPF application in VS2008.

Here:
Introduction to WPF with Visual Studio 2008[^]
How to create a simple WPF application in VS2008[^]
Building application with VS2008[^]

UPDATE:
First guess, is it collapsed/closed? :)

Second guess, I found that quite handful people have faced this issue.
See if doing this resolves:
You can start your VS with "resetskippkgs' key (put this in Run command: 'devenv /resetskippkgs'). It'll erase all VS settings and packeges settings.

Third guess, since not sure of versions installed, have a look at this blogpost: Visual Studio 2008 - Where is the Xaml Designer?[^]
