Now you are getting beyond my knowledge because I know diddly about Prism and Unity. It struck me more like MVVM and MVC. A really clean 3 tiered architecture. What really impressed me was its dynamic nature. My favorite part of the presentation was the demo program(s) discovering any dll that implemented an IAnimal interface in the data directory and dynamically plugging Cow into a list box. Now that's extensibility.
