VS2008 is the next enhancement in VS and should not be looked at in
isolation to the additional technologies MS is introducing.
The main thrust of VS development is of course Rapid Application
Development. VS et al supports this in a number of ways: Provision of
pre-coded templates for projects based on WPF, WCF and WWF. Support for
Xaml - general purpose Xml. Support for Linq - Language Integrated Queries
bringing some consistency to data storage. There are of course other
Language enhancements to support all these things. Try it and see - there's
little doubt we shall all be going that way sometime soon.

Re: vs2008

Primarily additions to functionality. LINQ, lambda expressions (C#), and
some WCF, WPF additions, etc. The IDE allows you to target framework, so you
can compile to different versions. And there are some stability tweaks to
the IDE, although it still uses too much memory for my tastes. :-)

I would not flip completely to VS2008 until there is a release version,
however.

See if something fits you.

If there is nothing then your advantage is nothing.
