Maybe they changed it to using a new wallpaper with a build number in the corner Smiley

Please, pretty please with sugar on it, give VS better local to remote FTP features.

I'd push the aspiration a bit further and say we should have xcopy installation for Visual Studio (see Eclipse).

I'd also add that if we can add xcopy installation for VS, let's build out the technology/framework/tools so that *anyone* can build xcopy applications (see Apple). 

I'd also throw in that we need a much more flexible way to update software (see Firefox updater).

On the other hand, there are a lot of stupidities and complexities going on inside an msi package that makes it impossible to create a quick installation package.

Microsoft has a tough job, making a product that works right for millions, but people's data is their baby pictures, email, finances,etc.
Something that should be treated with respect.

As someone who did lose data personally from Windows Home Server, I know how bad it is!

I agree with you that application updates are key too, I want xcopy deployment and auto-updates. I want to be able to copy all my apps onto a USB drive and paste them onto a new PC and have everything "just work."

No re-writes, no degradation in features (per user settings still work), etc

I'm not saying I know how it should be built(clearly some general purpose abstraction layer for COM and the registry though), but rather that we do need it and every Windows application could benefit by making it "just work."

What I get frustrated by is that we attempt to instead make incremental improvements versus making big bets to completely overhaul something that is painful to all Windows developers. Worse yet, there are plenty of examples (Apple, Firefox, etc) where we could dramatically overhaul our installer technology.
