The next VB.NET

David McNamee has a great preview of some of the changes coming in the Whibey version of VB.NET. It's great to see some of these things now being demo'd to the public. I've seen many of the things he posted about previously, but was under NDA and couldn't discuss. Since it's now been shown publically, I'd like to add a quick comment to one of David's observations on aligning controls:

When you click on a control and start to drag it, two lines will appear along the sides of your control. One line will be on top and extend from the left edge of the form to the right edge. The other appears along the left side of the control and goes from the top of the form to the bottom. As you move the control, the guide lines move with you so you can easily line up your control with others that are already on the form.

Not only that, but as those "alignment" lines get close to other controls (like withing 4 pixels), they "snap" into alignment with that control (either horizontally or verically). It makes aligning a ton of controls on a form very easy. Just drag them around until those lines snap into place and release the mouse button. So easy!
