Tonight I was finally able to get back in to looking in to the future of .NET.
I am starting to work my way through the Developer's Notebook Series by O'reilly. I am finding these books to be a very nice change from the usual long, drawn out, teach every aspect of development books. They are specific and within the first few pages you are starting to play with some of the new features of 2005.
I also have to say that even though I have run in to a few bugs, I am VERY impressed with many of the changes made to Visual Studio. I have read many angry posts about issues that some people are finding with the beta, and I am still wondering why. It is only the second beta and still has some time before it really hits the market. Sure, there will be bugs and some issues, but I have yet to meet any coder out there that writes perfect code with every aspect of how it is going to be used in mind. I have to say that I am also impressed that Microsoft has taken many of the lacking features in to mind with creating the next version of VS.
To the Microsoft Team, Bravo, You are doing a great job to make some lives easier.
Back to the madness...

Update:
As seen here Joel Ross points out Scott Gutherie blog that makes the point very clear that the Microsoft development team is listening and do acutally want to make the everyday coder's life easier.
