There are many great Silverlight applications ( http://www.Silverlight.net/showcase/ ) that are very similar to WPF applications. Itβs worth taking a picture if you just need some design ideas. They are also based on the Internet, so you do not need to install them.
You can also see a preview of Windows 8 (if you know someone with it or you have time to install it). there are tons of preloaded touchscreen applications, also very similar to WPF
