I have been working for about 7 months (since 2005 B2) .

Its also cool that you can use 2003 components right in 2005.
The information below is pretty wild. .NET 2.0 is really great. I have been teaching on this since Jan 2005 and using it in production since B2 came out around March.

VSTO 2.0 rocks. One of the cool things is the serverdocument class. It lets you access documents without even have office installed. This allows you to dig into a document and get things out of it like chached datasets.
