Reading on Microsoft's website in some of the press releases about the
new Windows Presentation Foundation/Everywhere(WPF/E), it is clear that
it is not a full featured .Net Framework. It's only a strict subset of
the full featured Windows Presentation Foundation, with the server side
still on the Windows platform, and it's only intended for web
development. And, they're even talking about Javascript as the possible
language for the code and not C#.

It is a CLR with a small subset of the Framework class library. It does
execute .NET IL (bytecote), and it will run C# and VB.Net code on the
client. It is designed to be hosted by desktop applications as well as
running in the browser.

A couple of the WPF/E development team members are now bloging providing
some clarification to knock-back the already gathering rumors and likely
will provide more info as things progress. The latter blog has some
screenshots.

As a side issue, I guess the recently announced XNA could also be counted as
cross-platform if one wanted to be generous.;-0 It will have a toolset
similar to Visual Studio and it's own framework supporting managed code for
gammers.
