I fooled around with XNA when it first became available a few years ago. I 
liked it, but game-quality graphics weren't what I was looking for, so I 
never pursued it. I like making animations, but I wait for them to be 
ray-traced right now. I am excited about some of the strides being made in 
real-time rendering though, and I wouldn't be surprised to see assemblies 
created for the XNA environment that take advantage of those kinds of 
engines.
