What Web resources for industrial HMI software exists?
I am developing Human-Machine Interface industrial applications for touchscreen computers running on Windows XP embedded. At present, all our applications are written using Visual Basic 6, with some portions in OpenGL.

We are on the verge of adopting a newer technology. We are experimenting VB.NET with .NET Framework and WPF, but we wonder if it is a good choice for us.

Our software is not real-time, as the real-time portions are confined to other hardware or software modules, but of course it should be rather responsive.

We found that WPF is not really oriented to embedded software nor to touchscreen user interface. In addition, our embedded computers must be fanless and therefore not really powerful, and WPF looks a bit slow on such hardware (compared to VB6).
We are proficient in Basic language, and prefer this kind of language to C-like languages.

Which Web resources are available to provide advice regarding our kind of software?
