So I guess we are looking forward for a new Tablet OS or Tablet UI subsystem from MSFT.
rumors said that they are working on a 'MoSH' or 'Modern Shell' project for Windows vNext.

for this to become useful Microsoft do need to support more 'unstable' HTML5 features like IndexDB and WebSocket etc, hopefully they are coming soon.

I found some interestingly worded sentences in this page:
http://www.microsoft-careers.com/job/Redmond-Software-Development-Engineer-in-Test-II-Job-WA-98052/1140719/The Browser Programmability and Tools team doesn’t just build the JavaScript runtime for Internet Explorer: we’re responsible for defining and shipping the tooling experience for HTML5 client applications.
• Creating the HTML5 developer tools for IE, Windows, Visual Studio, and beyond. From editors to diagnostics to extensibility, our team owns creating high-caliber productivity tools for HTML5 client development across IE and Windows.
• Developing the JavaScript runtime for Internet Explorer and Windows. To help IE stand as a modern browser, our team is building a fast, standards-compliant JavaScript engine that we will take forward to support new application scenarios for Windows.
It sounds like HTML5 Out-Of-Browser applications to me, something like Adobe AIR.
HTA 5 ? or is it just me ??
and, in a related and similiar post:
http://www.microsoft-careers.com/job/Redmond-Software-Development-Engineer-II-Job-WA-98052/1142013/the description is edited and much shorter, erased all traces about Windows and HTML5 client applications.

code highlighers or analyzers are not worthy enough. what Roslyn really should do is to enable the pluggable language features or embeddable sub-languages/DSLs, so we can add language support for a specific framework (like WPF) and retire these features withtogether the framework itself, this way we can cure the 'aging' problem of languages in a metabolism way.

personally I want:
array on stack and array embedded/inlined in struct
indexed property
event assigning in the object initializer block
more flexible and powerful generics type parameter constraints, like valuetypes and math operators -
syntax matters, to coders, its about tastes, culture, even religions
and the 'feature parity' thing is for major core features, surely you cant get every little syntax details interchangable, they are just different.

well, I think SQLCE4 SP1 is more likely.
But its a little bit weird when they explain the reason of not exposing the builtin sqldb inside WP7 as no managed api, so its not SQLCE3.5 ?? maybe its 3.7 ???? maybe you can look into the WP7 rom to find out. and hopefully something will show up in MIX11.

usually they will talk about this in PDC, they revealed the async and iterators stuff at PDC10, maybe more will come in the next conference.
you can keep an eye on the vbteam blog and Lucian Wischik's blog, and Channel9 of course.
