On the VeriTest website on the age about which reports get posted it says "The reports we've posted on our Web site, however, represent only a small fraction of the tests we've performed and the test reports we've written—the fraction that our clients have chosen to publish. Each client determines, for each test, whether to have us post its test report." I would be interested in seeing some of the comparisons Microsoft chose not to make public.

I haven't had a change to check out many of the new features. Some features that I have checked out are: Separetad the windows designer code from the rest of the forms/controls code. Easier to work with in my opinion. EDIT AND CONTINUE (for VB) is back in the bag of tricks. The exception handling system has been improved, the immediate view has been implementes inline with the code making it easier for debuging. the snippets library "seems" interesting, The in project development of databases is quite nice, although I still can't figure out where specific data providers went. And since i'm still playing around with it, i'll see if I find more things. PS: Installed it on my dev machine side by side with VS6/2000/2003 and Sql Server 2000 Developer No problems...
