I’ve been asked, “So I’ve heard about VS2010… What’s new with it?” which usually causes me to stop and pause. Given the massive number and scope of additions, changes, enhancements and general coolness, I find myself almost at a loss for words. Of course, me being me, that pause is short and once I start, it’s hard to stop… lol

Still, almost every time, I forget about something (given the scope, that’s understandable ;)

When I saw this I wanted to grab it both so I could use it as a refresher and as a place where I can refer others.
