Not at all. They have put a very big goalpost out
there and some of us who have to lug legacies down
that field have a very tricky play to make. But
we've done this before and what the PDC announcements
give us is time to plan (foreground vs background
timing).
Why is it a good thing if the XULies do it and
a bad thing if MS does it? Neither invented it
so the "copied XUL" arguments are horsefeathers.

The only risk they're taking with XAML is a backlash against their
arrogance in discarding things that are already out there, but not owned
by them.
I suppose that's a genuine risk, but not something they're likely to
lose sleep over.
