Where is Microsoft Blend Shape Tweening?

I've been playing around with Silverlight lately and especially using Blend to create animation timeline, etc. but I found something lacking in current version of Blend / Silverlight.  Not sure about WPF, but I think it's not there either, then again I might be wrong.  The thing that is missing is built in shape tweening ability which is a very nice feature in Adobe Flash for morphing one shape to another.

Searching on the the internet I found some alternative ways that involve some coding (in WPF) to do this.  One of them is by Charles Petzhold that is published as an article recently on MSDN magazine (July 2007 - Foundations: Extending the WPF Animation Classes) and the other is a sample for morphing 3D meshes by Robert Hogue.

I wrote this after briefly playing with Blend and Silverlight.  Maybe I am wrong... anyone?
