Unfortunately this is what happens with reasonablly new products, they change shape frequently as they mature, I have been frustrated with the samples or the lack of with the current version of MT and MT.D, I am sure with time we will get some up to date samples. I remember the the version 1 release of .net and the quantity of changes in the next version.
IMHO, when a new version of something is released samples showing the new features and changes should be released at the same time.
