Concerning Web and Win Forms, they have to be two different
worlds, as the web version is disconnected, and the data has
to be marshalled to the server for processing, where the
win version has the system first hand. 

But I agree about the controls .. ;)~ Although I suspect that
the cool controls you see are home grown for that project and
probably not part of an elite control lib for MS only, although,
maybe they are, and that's how they hold something special for
their apps UI wise... dunno..
