After watching the demo, I kind of wondered if they expected this initial reaction. Or rather, wanted to see the community's reaction. From there, they could have taken a pure HTML5+JS path if there was nobody upset about dropping .NET. Alternatively, having an upset community shows how much passion and investment there is for XAML.

Good writeup though, it is interesting that XAML has exactly the same mindset as HTML5+JS. Only under MS's control.
