Yes...currently they only annunced the rewrite of the shell in Visual  
Studio 2010. But I actually expect more to come over time....certainly  
they won't turn one of their flagship applications completely over  
right away.

Anyway....I fear that this thread is already driven far beyond its  
original topic....thus...I actually should refrain from pushing it  
further.... ;)
