Best technology to create windows presentation application [on hold]

1. I need to create education app that teaches users about genetic code. It has main menu and navigation bar. It should no have any system toolbars and borders. It also has:

• pictures


• texts


• buttons that moves to next screen


• tooltips etc.

It should allow to perform some simple animations such as:

• zoom in - zoom out


• slide to prev, next page


• shows / hides elements from page slowly


• simple sounds effects

I think about WPF but I am new in this technology and I am not sure if it allows me to do animations.

2. Is there any other useful technology for this task ? Maybe faster to do this or has better presentation functionality

3. It also should work on Any Windows system starting from XP
