Sparkle will be one element of the upcoming Expression Studio suite of design and developer tools for the Windows Presentation Foundation, formerly known as Avalon. Expression Studio also is expected to be unveiled at the PDC, sources said.

Flash + .NET WebServices is my current favourite development environment (but I like ASP.NET WebForms too). If Microsoft is able to deliver a Flash-like experience with their usual improvements, I would be even happier.
However, I doubt that MS would introduce such new technology for Windows systems only. I think a cross-platform plug-in will be prepared, given that Flash has now an huge makert share to leverage.
A sign that MacroAdobe is going at war on this is the fact that, even if announced, a .NET version of Flex has never been released (yet).
