What’s the difference between a WPF application, a WPF Browser application, and a standard Windows application?

Question

I read some posts which are relevant to my questions but i am not satisfied with the answers.

What’s the difference between a WPF application, a WPF Browser application, and a standard Windows application?

Answer 1

WPF application : Is an application designed using Windows Presentation foundation (.Net framework 3.0)

WPF browser application: This is a wpf application which is capable of running in browser.

Standard windows application: This is designed, written using .Net framework 2.0. WPF is .NET framework 3.0.

WPF provides support for story board (like adobe flash), which windows application cannot provide.
