VS2005 (Less Code) versus true OO where is the middle ground?

We are engaged on a new project using true OO and using VS2005.

Most if not all of the demos concerning VS2005 are using the auto-magic (less code) methods.

As we see the new Team System now existing demonstrating that Microsoft is pushing to support the enterprise type development efforts, we are curious what about demos and efforts for the true OO development.

Or perhaps a balance between both methods and where the future development tools will help to support this.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

The demos are simply a showcase of how to implement new features, they are not an illustration of best practices.
