Jamie most likely "whatevered" security because we're still working on tweaking our security settings and system before we release. Thus, what he shows you now in the security part of ClickOnce isn't what you're going to see when we ship Beta 2 and RTM.

As someone who is deeply involved in this (I wrote the code on the security property page and I'm updating the signing page), I can tell you that we are NOT taking security lightly. We work closely with the Windows team to make sure we make the right security choices going forward. The CLR security team is a key contributor to the ClickOnce effort.

Security is ALWAYS on our mind when we design, implement, and test ClickOnce.

Stress testing with large amounts of projects and files is something very much in the minds of us for Whidbey. We have extensive performance testing and ambitious goals.

Trust me, VS perf with large amounts of data is something we hear a lot about from customers and we're listening!

MYTH WARNING!!

VB .Net has full generic support! See my post in TechOff about it:

Whidbey Winforms will knock your socks off.

You can finally make real Office-level UI easily with just the stock controls. Whidbey apps can look just as professional as the stuff we ship.

Outlook 2k3 UI with stock Whidbey controls? Not only possible but easy.
