IronPython and either WPF or Windows Forms is a great platform for 
developing desktop applications for Windows. It's a fairly big topic. 
I'd say Windows Forms is probably easier to start with but WPF is 
capable of creating better looking user interfaces. IronPython in Action 
has great material on both winforms and WPF, naturally. :-)
