Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 Release Candidate is now available
for MSDN subscribers (as of yesterday, Monday) and will be ready for general
download as of tomorrow (Wednesday).

Lots of new features:

SharePoint Development
Silverlight and WPF Data Binding
Core Coding Experience
Native Development
Parallel Computing
Visual Studio Extensibility
Office Development
WF and WCF
Windows Azure Tools

Parallelism is one feature that very much interests me. Developers can write
programs that will scale across multiple cores and processors... and that is
in addition to multi-threaded, 64bit and native mode compiled applications.

I was at a talk given by the founder of the company StrangeLoops (test your
web site performance:

out of Vancouver, Richard Campbell, who was in the employ of Microsoft to
give a seminar on how to program Windows7 new desktop features, last week
but he later wandered into the subject of parallelism... very interesting
stuff for developing the server based web end.
