Is Prism Primarily for Silverlight?

The majority of the articles/tutorials/blog post I read about Microsoft's Prism Framework center around Silverlight. With the composite model being an interesting model for an existing desktop app that needs a little TLC, I'm wondering is Prism a viable technology for a desktop LOB app?

most of the online resources are for Silverlight because it wasn't until fairly recently that WPF support was officially released. Prism 4.0 at http://compositewpf.codeplex.com/ includes WPF resources including some on sharing code between WPF & SL

It is for Silverlight(Web), WPF(Desktop) and Windows Phone 7(Phone).

Basically, it is for any platform that uses XAML, MVVM combo.

And for your last question, YES, it's a very good option to go with when developing a LOB application in WPF.

But remember, you will need to spend a few days just to learn Prism (and Unity or MEF). So, be ready for it.
