A (near) perfect project for 2008 would be:

• Use WPF for front-end (or WPF/E silverlight)
• Use LINQ for business tier (C# 3.5)
• Use SQL Server 2008 for the database

Bonus points

• Use XNA libraries (hmm starting to sound like a game!)
• Pay lots of money (no, can't be a game then)

If you have a project like above, and are after an experienced .NET developer email me NOW!
