.NET, XP and Longhorn

What is the relationship of .NET to XP compared to .NET's relationship to Longhorn?
Is that even a proper way to phrase the question?

Is there any relation between .NET and XP? XP doesn't even come with the
runtime preinstalled right - so i don't think there is nothing to do with
both.

I think Longhorn is based on .NET - i mean a rewrite (at least of many
portions) with .NET - dunno for sure...

Just to add:

Quoting from winsupersite @ http://www.winsupersite.com/faq/longhorn.asp
"Win32 API from previous Windows versions is being replaced by a new
..NET-based API called WinFX, for example."

I saw that the Microsoft Longhorn is comming out with WinFX which is some upgrade of the .NET framework Does that mean that .NET programs (currently made) can also run as WinFX without need to recompile? Are conventional exe and dll's also supported on the Longhorn? What about 64 bit.?

I have heard that your existing applications written in .NET will not work on Longhorn unless you recompile them or retouch them in some matter Is this correct If so, why would anyone start to write application in .NET until Longhorn becomes available Thanks

Just spent some time browsing around here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/Longhorn/ I can see the benefits from WinFS (as long as we tag all in-coming data this should be nice, tagging everything could be a tedious process though) but I haven't been able to pick up the practical advantages of XAML. From my assessment, XAML will provide separation of UI logic from business rules/procedures for applications. It seems like an HTML of sorts for...
