     Yes you are completely correct.....  

    here is the wpf forum http://windowsclient.net/

    In fact in visual studio 2010 wpf will be using (wpf)  as their primary window

    application.  If you care to use custom databases (domain development) you can still do that

    in C# window applications and here is the silverlight site    http://silverlight.net/?info=EXLINK

    By the way you can install silverlight 3 tomorrow expression blend 3(no more beta!!)  

    however you have to unistall silverlight 2  because

    silverlight 1,2, 3  will only be available  for vs 2010

    Please  post this forum  as answered Thank you

     I wanted to correct something I said apparently you can install  silverlight

    1.2.3 together according to this link I was wrong all you have to do is install

    the silverlight tools whick will upgrade the latest tools sdk

    The silverlight toolkit is another story because it is part of codeplex

    you will have to upgrade manually
