Telerik has a commercial line of WPF controls, as well as WinForms, and Silverlight. They are very high quality, and on the high end in terms of $$$, but they're worth their weight in gold if you're going to utilize them.

I've used their web products and they are well made. They even have sample code on their site and demos so you can get started easily.

Odyssey is a nice set of controls with a Ribbon menu control and Outlook-style bars.

You may have problems using them in XBAP applications though.
