"3 screens and a cloud"
This is a phrase that we will hear more and more from Microsoft. From a developers perspective the goal is one code base that compiles for Mobile, Web and desktop. The basis of that is Xaml/silverlight/wpf. We are not far from that now with projects like prism (on codeplex) and adoption of M-V-VM patterns. Windows Phone is the last part of the puzzle and v7 will have the Xaml/Silverlight/WPF foundation - that is what Bach is talking about here I believe. Not quite Windows 7 on the device exactly but I can see it being possible for a single app to run on all three screens (most likely with different Views/ViewModels and sharing data through the cloud) This is a winning combination IMO and I hope (and expect) we will see it earlier than most people think...
