A New Look for Visual Studio 2010
Now, I don't particularly care what VS2k10 looks like as long as it does the job, but some of the new functionality like multi-monitor support and a better extensibility model do interest me quite a lot. There have been numerous times I've thought "It'd make my life easier if I could just add to VS so it did XYZ" and then I've been put-off by the heinous monster that is its current extensibility model. I'm sure it's very strong, but, yeuck!
"Fix it" - The Next Evolution of KB Articles and WER
I'm sure AOL had something similar, about 10 years ago, within their client software for resolving connectivity and other AOL related issues (oh yes, there were many, many issues!). It's nice to see Microsoft finally implementing something similar as this will take the pain out of solving some computer related problems for a lot of people.
