Microsoft's decision to promote this technology is great because it
shows real innovation and creative thinking.
For what it is worth, I expect this product will fail to persuade
developers to use it similar to the way Microsoft Music Producer and
Microsoft Direct Animation did. But 'Sparkle' is such a better name
than, say, 'Microsoft Vector Image Display' - it's nice to see the
company making progress on naming their projects.

It'll be 7-10 years before you can consider using this for any real
application. It requires the avalon sub-system which means we're
talking
2006, and will only work for longhorne users, which means a very limited
user base for a long time (how many people still use windows 98?).
Also, a lot can change in that timeframe. OSX is growing in popularity
so
MS might not even have so much of a monopoly and cross-platform support
could be even more of an issue--which would negate any possibility of
using
avalon-specific technologies.
However, I could see something to render XAML in Flash or an XSLT to
convert
XAML to LZX or whatever Royale will use.
My $0.02.
