clickonce

we're considering migrating our UI to XBAP. we've chosen XBAP despite knowing the clients must have .net pre-installed, since we're not targeting the masses but rather IT professionals in the corporate environment, and it's a way to preserve our investment (in a WPF based UI in a client-server architecture) and enjoy web deployment. however, we are concerned about the maturity of the platform/architecture and it's adoption.

do you know of any commercial applications out there using XBAP, and do you have any experience using it? can you elaborate on that experience?

also, as @Murph suggested, can you think of strong reasons to prefer clickOnce over XBAP (or the other way around)?
