Although Win7 shipping with the 4.0 Framework is more of a big deal to me cause there's things in the 4.0 Framework that'll make a huge amount of my work easier so I'll be moving to that, I just hope that the VS 2010 IDE is fixed up by the time it's RTM.
Huh? .NET 3.5 includes WPF, WCF and WF which are all HUGE extensions onto the framework, as well as LINQ as Jenner pointed out and several other things. I would say the jump from 2.0 to 3/3.5 provides an awful lot more than the jump from 3.5 to 4.0. I wouldnt be surprised if most of these things that you think will make your work so much easier are actually mostly already in 3.5 because like Jenner I dont see that much amazing new stuff in 4.0 - its more just polishing what is already there in 3.5 as far as I can see.
