Originally XNA stood for `Xbox New Architecture´, but has since been redefined as `XNA is Not an Acronym´.
Games coded with XNA are either in C# or VB.NET.
FNA is a free cross-platform runtime library to replace XNA runtimes now that Microsoft has clarified that it has no interest in supporting independent developers who use XNA.
