Vista - WPF not installed by default in Vista?

I heard that WPF will not be installed by default in Vista :

This will be a problem. A lot of new programs based on WPF will be released
when Vista come out. However, the producer of these programs have to tell
the end user how to activate WPF before installing their program. This will
prevent the fast acceptance of WPF.

Another question is that although WPF is not installed by default in Vista,
Vista UI has all features WPF provided, such as animation. So is there
another set of API that could be used to build UI system? What's its
relation to WPF?
