Whatever Microsoft calls these various frameworks, it's still usually C#, XAML, and the same/very similar frameworks underneath. Silverlight, WPF, Windows Phone, Windows 8 Metro -- a programmer can comfortably move between these with a lot of code reuse. This has come up numerous times on HN in the past year alone. I would hope the facts I stated above are stupidly apparent to Microsoft developers, so I'm left wondering if this is FUD from another camp or the situational awareness is really that poor.
