IntelliTrace new feature in Visual Studio for tracing all execution calls durring a debug session. Allows you to go backward and debug things that have already run. Totally insane.

Windows Identity Foundation seems like yet another passport/cardspace/whatever. When is all of this going to stop?
Douglas Purdy Microsoft Architect shows a demo of bringing cloud computing and regular development available.
Application Model Project. New project type that describes a high level description of an application. Similar to a web.config / app.config but for Windows Azure. It allows you to define which projects in a solution exist in which tier of your application. Defines distinct roles for application layers to run on.
Deployment of web applications can now be bundled into a .app file which can be deployed to an Azure service. Using the Application Model Project settings, Azure will configure the application accordingly.
