WPF is part of the .NET framework. As long as you have the right framework installed it will work. WPF was introduced with .NET 3.0. If you plan to use it, I recommend going for .NET 4.0 as it has matured with each version.

WinXP was not shipped with any .NET Framework included, it has to be installed separately. Vista included 3.0. Windows 7 included 3.5. I think that it is safe to assume that 99% of all Windows computers out there have a recent .NET framework version installed since so many apps require it.
