WinFX 3.0 is now .Net Framework 3.0

With the aim of providing us with consistency Soma has announced that from now on WinFX consisting of Windows Presentation Framework (Avalon) , Windows Communications Framework (Indigo) , Windows Workflow Foundation (WinOE) and Cardspace ( the product formaly known as Infocard ) will be known as .Net Framework 3.0

It looks as though .NET 3.0 will be dependant on .NET 2.0 and should not download the runtime as well.

Soma previously has indicated a red/green model for classifying the .NET runtime and its supporting assemblies. Red assemblies include .NET itself and what was WinFX 3.0 , Red assemblys will be subject to a service pack style compatiblity and wherever possible backwards compatiblity. Green assemblys will be new and can be thought of as additions. One can only assume that over time Green assemblys will migrate to Red.

I can only assume that the LINQ addions will now come in .NET Framework 3.5.
