.Net Will use Jupiter. Microsoft are not getting rid of .Net. Jupiter is a replacement for WPF, Windows Forms if you're still using them and if it lives up to its promise and is fast enough may replace some DirectX use in C++. WPF ended up as a bodge job. I've got a middle range desk top. Put 40 WPF Polygon objects on the screen in debug mode and it grinds to a halt. I haven't tried leveraging WPFs graphics capabilities on a tablet, but the result must be pathetic. WPFs problem was that it ended up grafted on top of Win 32. Jupiter is what what WPF was meant to be.
