Nope, SWFs will still run in Flash Player. Tamarin will be integrated into SpiderMonkey for Javascript execution. All this means is that JavaScript in Firefox 4 will be compliant with ECMAScript 4. The benefit for Adobe is that future development on the VM will not just be the responsibility of Adobe and they can focus resources on other tasks.
It's a win-win for everyone in my view.

Ok, good point. Sorry for my initial excitement The other questions is: if, in 2008, when Tamarin is ready and already running in FF to run JS, would that mean users don't need a plugin anymore as it will be "integrated" in the core browser?
