My "metric" for when WPF is truly "ready to go" is when there is a menustrip control available in Visual Studio. Without that, from my perspective, it's still "under construction" a bit, in comparision to winforms. This isn't a technical argument, just a personal preference.

So my question is: when will stock Visual Studio come with a WPF menustrip control? For example, is this going to be in the final release of Visual Studio 2010?

Never. You have a bad metric. :)

When combined with a single layout panel in WPF, Menu can do everything MenuStrip does and more.

Thanks. I'll check out the Menu control. In my quick scan of the VS2010 beta, I was only looking for Menustrip and somehow didn't see Menu (or realize that it has what I'm looking for).
