In the Silverlight version 1.0 era, the default XAML namespace used in templates for XAML was
http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007. That namespace still has legacy support, but using
http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation as the default namespace URI is strongly recommended for any current Silverlight XAML. This is for migration and tooling reasons:
the http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation namespace is shared with WPF, and some tools may not account for the
http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007 namespace.

Hi,
The note near the bottom of this msdn page should answer your question.
