It's kinda "wrong" or at least unprecise in some ways.... To summerize, WPF is for creating "rich" applications with the very technical term: "sexy user interfaces".
The language you a designing WPF applications in are XAML and is very much alike XML yes. Also you can build WPF applications in both VB and C# (possibly other .NET languages to, I only work with those). The other kind of applications which most of you know is Windows Forms. The "classical" look of applications.
Good job with this video intro to WPF! Do you need Silverlight for WPF? I want to develop a plugin for Outlook. The GUI will be minimal. Is it better to implement the interface with WPF or standard Windows forms? Thank you again for the video.
@alecn1519 WTF? WPF is WPF while Silverlight is Silverlight! That are two very different things! Sure they both use XAML, but that's all. You use WPF for creating normal Windows apps wich is very simple in styling and binding. It's ideal for seperation of code and Design.
@YesYou123333 but it has it's very own parts wich are different in WPF and vice versa. They sure are related but it's more like a brothers relation than a parent-child relation

No, however you can create Silverlight enabled apps in it. I haven't really done much more with WPF and have moved onto Java.

what would you use that for?

Basically you would use WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) for creating SilverLight webapps.

@TheT0kk Actually, Silverlight uses a subset of WPF.
