Avalon in the MS codename for the GUI/presentation layer and Shell for
Longhorn, the next version of Windows and first to be based on .NET
technology. This will be build around a new XML dialect, XAML, and
will be the preferred way of writing GUIs (not just forms) on that
operating system.
WinForms, and Win32 for that matter, should still work, but XAML will
be the blessed, optimised way of working and where all new features
will show up.
As Craig says though, Longhorn is not due for a couple more years yet,
even without deadline slippage.
