I must admit that I was a bit hasty in my dismissal of the PDC Framework bits on my Windows 2003 Server box.  I finally reinstalled everything after having repaved the box 2 weeks ago and everything is now running splendedly.  In fact, my site (yeah, all 5 pages of it) seems a bit snappier after the first hit than it did with 1.1, but surely this is just my imagination.

Now I would like to ask the community of PDC'ers to recommend some of your favorite examples, labs, or basically anything at all that I can read/learn from about ASP.NET Whidbey.  Since I don't actually have VS.NET Whidbey (working from the Yukon beta bits) I will be going about this the hard way (oh IntelliSense, I miss you already).
