@Jack:  I don't believe the Text Templating team has announced their new features yet.

@watch:  I heard that suggestion a few times at TechEd.  I'll chat with the debugging team to see if they have plans to support it in vNext.

@Gord: As I mentioned above, we were not ready to discuss many of the new C++ IDE enhancements at TechEd, but you'll be hearing more about them in the future.  Almost everything I demoed will work in C++.

@foubadcats:  Unfortunately we aren't ready to announce further C++ IDE details at this time.  You should follow the Visual C++ team blog for announcements.

3) Unfortunately no.  Duplicating the menu and commanding system over two different inputs is a large and complex work item.  

@markheath: No timeframe has been announced yet.

@JustinK: It's a design we considered and liked, but because it was non-standard VS UI, we ran into a lot of issues with command routing and focus.  Ultimately, we settled on a more discoverable and standard UI approach. 

@DuncanL:  I was using the C# profile which doesn't have the "Solution Platforms" toolbar combo there by default, even in VS2010.  For General Settings, that toolbar combo will be available in the overflow.
