If Windows Longhorn gets enough of the market (arbitrary guess 40%+) then it will be able to dicate play with XAML, especially with MyXAML pushing it's way onto other platforms - who's to say Linux distros won't be shipping with MyXAML in the future? But that depends on all kinda of unpredictable issues. Will the world keep warming to Linux and will it gain enough momentum to compete with Windows XP and inevitably Longhorn? I think so, I think in two years time Linux desktops will be penetrating 20% of the market and rising, or more if Asia continues it's recent trends. But I could be talking baloney.
