  • The relationship of Office 12 to Vista and .NET
  • How the .NET CLR and runtime will become widespread
  • High-level semantics: CLR objects or XML?
  • LINQ, or language-integrated query, Anders Hejlsberg’s long-term ambition now coming to fruition
  • The RSS data web, notification, SOAP/REST synergy, enterprise syndication
  • WPF/E, aka Windows Presentation Foundation/Everywhere, aka portable Avalon
  • Why, given the downleveling of the original Longhorn "pillars" to XP, enterprises would still want to upgrade to Vista.
