    Well that link is for Express which is still in CTP. I wouldnt really touch CTP or a Beta one unless you are designing some uility or addin for it as to use it in any kind of production environment is too risky because of all the bugs.

    Perhaps this link to the VS versions may help.

    Well given thier track record of always missing the expected release dates by 1-2 quarters on average I would really think sometime in 2008 is more realistic.

    Improved HTML WYSIWYG editor.
    Native support for .Net 2,3 and 3.5 builds.
    Native support of the Linq Framework.
    Object relational mapper.

    Those are the main improvements as I see it
