As I understand it (which, as a "native-only" programmer, is not

WPF itself can be used for desktop applications.

Yes, you're correct. Being "native-only" programmer myself I'm not
always up to date with newst MSFT technologies. I just have read
about WPF/Silverlight in MSDN and even tried to write "Hello
World!" WPF application. It was pretty much the same as if I did
it with Windows Forms, except that GUI layout was stored as XML
files.

Frankly speaking, if I had to chose between WPF and WF today, I
would rather chose WPF. I never liked the idea of storing GUI
layout embedded right into the code. Moreover, any attempt to
fine-tune it manually would break forms editor. Now, separate
..XAML and .CS files resemble familiar .C/.CPP and .RC pair.

What makes me angry with Bill is Microsoft's crazy pace changing
technologies names and buzzwords. I often fail to keep up with it.
