Create applications for Surface with WPF
Looks like I was correct in my last post about Microsoft's surface using WPF. Here's a quote from ArsTechinca article about "What lurks below Microsoft's Surface".

Surface applications can be written in Windows Presentation Foundation
or XNA. The development process is much like normal Vista development,
but custom WPF controls had to be created by the Surface team due to
the unique interface of Surface. Developers already proficient in WPF
have been trained in the idiosyncrasies of writing Surface apps and
should be available to customize Surface deployments for the large
hotels, casinos, and restaurants at which the machines will first be
deployed.
