Wes speculates on Avalon.
It appears that Avalon won’t support some of the features we use today:
…it seems that Microsoft is primarily focused on web-like navigation-based applications. I've also heard from sources some traditional controls, like the toolbar won't even be available, because of schedule restrictions and the fact that their functionality can be duplicated to some degree with other Avalon panels....

Well there's a thing, so the demo screen shots produced in the beta UI guide (the HealthCare database) was not done using Avalon (it has a menu, a toolbar) - so what was it done with then, or was it done with duplicated functionality to some degree"? I think we should be told.
