One of the common complaints regarding Microsoft is that the company has problems eating its own dog food. Even though it promoted Windows Presentation Foundation as
the programming framework for building Windows and web applications, it so far failed to produce any significant WPF applications itself. None of Microsoft's major applications use WPF (Expression Design and Blend aren't major), which does not help in promoting it as the Next Big Thing. This may all change in the near future, as a small but extremely popular Microsoft application is about to
make the switch to Windows Presentation Foundation:
MSN Windows Live Messenger.

The MVC pattern is an extension of the Observer pattern. Views are observers of a model. It just makes another distinction about where manipulation of model objects takes place.
Could you explain in more detail how you use the observer pattern to solve the problem of separating content from presentation?
