"xbap" is WPF, so is windows. If you want compatibility, you should be
looking at Silverlight 2.0, or "xap" (i.e. it creates a .xap file);
Silverlight can interact with a hosting html page (for interaction
with ASP.NET), and works on a range of browsers and platforms *if*
they have the plugin.

I don't believe winform is under any immediate threat of disappearing
due to WPF; WPF is simply another available tool for jobs where Win32
controls aren't going to be enough.
