The concern for man and his destiny must always be the chief interest of all technical effort. Never forget it between your diagrams and equations.

Yeah, it's a little more than just an HTML/JavaScript/CSS cross compiler, or so it seems from the marketese as you note. Looks like it can burn portions to JavaScript, or to CLR clients, etc.
The analog in GWT terms would be the ability to delegate some portion of your app to an applet, etc - I guess.
In my opinion though, this is a good move from MS, though I don't personally think it will ever approach GWT goodness (it's a losing battle, especially now that GWT is open source, hard to compete with those resources). And, the entire reason I have come around to Ajax is that I *want* the native in the browser running app, I don't want an applet, a silvercrap, a flash movie, or whatever the hell, running in a separate process.
