I’ve been asked about what will happen at the BUILD conference ( http://www.buildwindows.com ) many times over the past few weeks and how it will or won’t affect existing client technologies like Silverlight, WPF and so on.

If I had a penny for every time I heard someone from Microsoft say “I’m not a designer” when working with Blend then I’d be a rich man.
