I see it this morning. I think that's really far from being true unit
testing for Silverlight as this thing is not even using the Silverlight
Runtime for the tests. The Silverlight Unit Test Framework from Microsoft
does, has been there for a long time, works great and has other great
features, like Async tests, UIAutomation, etc. All this framework is doing
is take your code, force it to run it on the Desktop runtime (probably just
rebinding the Assemblies) and then run the test using another framework.

I reckon this will be easier to use than the SL Testing Fx from Microsoft,
but it doesn't mean it's the right way to go. Hopefully the MS Fx will
evolve and we will be able to run the tests directly in VS, MSBuild and
using other Test Runners like ReSharper, NUnit, etc. There're some projects
that partially does that (I couldn't get it working, but I didn't invest a
lot of time either).

For simple tests, this Fx will be the simple tool that will get the job
done.
