The .Net framework is still the primary platform in Windows 8. You're able to create simple applications with HTML and Javascript as you're able to do so in Windows 7 in the form of Gadgets! Windows applications will be developed using WPF (not silverlight - a subset of WPF). I expect that Jupiter will just be the Windowing system that manages application side-by-side snap ins, multitouch, ui task management, etc. Microsoft has left the door open for speculation and many people aren't being logical about it.
