This may be an obvious observation to some, but I just think it's fantastic to see how features from Microsoft Research videos from 2 or 3 years ago [http://www.aisto.com/roeder/ip/] show up directly in products today.  What a concept! R&D dollars that go directly into shipping products! :)  This Video on Intentional Programming shows a number of more superficial features that are currently in Visual Studio.NET. 

Aside from these few features they've brought forward like the Compile Error Todo List, I'd like to see how the CodeDom  would end up being used in a more far-reaching IP implementation on top of the .NET CLR.

Fantastic...for the 4 of you who are reading this initially false-started blog, you'll notice that it's only taken me from May to now to figure out the firewall issues that were preventing the updating of these pages.  So, that being said, expect to see more posts more often.  Thanks for your support.

Why .NET will conquer the world. .NET clearly bears a strong resemblance to Java. It offers many of the same features, while adding interesting additions of its own (code metadata, versioned assemblies, etc). Microsoft, however, is better positioned to create a cross-market software unification framework than Sun Microsystems ever was (or is). [sellsbrothers.com: Windows Developer News]
