I spent the good part of the past 18 months studying and getting comfortable with WPF/XAML. 18 months.

It's just too much with Microsoft technologies. It's impossible to trust this company. The whole .Net framework has been a constant series of technology dead ends.

Fortunately the world doesn't turn at this pace. As far as I can tell on both countries where I'm currently operating, businesses have been highly resistant to Windows 8 adoption. This can guarantee me some years where I can actually apply my acquired knowledge to good use and make some money.
