This is a really excellent presentation on TPL.  Great stuff!

Doh!  Why aren't all the Silverlight 4 embedded players support pinned full-screen.  For us multi-monitor users out here, it is very annoying to have the video go out of full screen mode when we try to do something on the other monitor.

The full-screen pinning ROCKS!  I also like the more modern, cleaner look of the new UI.

What the cuss?  I am playing this on Silverligth **4**.  I put the video in full screen on my second monitor then proceed to work on my first montior and the video kicks out of full screen mode upon the first mouse-click on the app I want to work in.  I thought Silverlight 4 was supposed to support this scenario?  That's what ScottGu said during his DevConnections keynote.  If this requires a config change on the content side then please update your silverlight content to support this new functionality in SL4.

One feature of DExplore I'm missing in the new help system (and MSDN online) is the "Sync with Table of Contents" button.  Many times I'll do a search (or use the index) to find a .NET type and then I want to see the type in the context of the namespace it was defined in.  That way I can quickly surf related types.

To ship is to choose.  I know how it goes. 

Why don't the developer tools show the HTTP response headers like Kothari's web dev helper?  Seems like an unfortunate omission or is it in there and I'm just not finding it?

My guess is because any expressions (a == b || c != d) you put in an attribute (as a string) can't be verified by the compiler.   Any errors wouldn't be noticed until runtime.

IIRC Jeffrey said at his PDC session that CTP3 would be available in the December/January timeframe.

Data breakpoints is something I definitely miss.  Where you have properties in your own code it is easy enough to set a breakpoint in a setter.  But where the code isn't your own (think slot in an array or entry in a List<T>), it sure would be nice to be able to set a breakpoint on write.
