Yup. I was very interested in .net when it first started. VS 2005 was great, particularly the improvements in .net 2.0. .net 3 was pretty cool in a way - i really like wcf, but wpf holds no interest for me. vs2008 only gave me a nicer development environment, linq is still something i can't find a use for. so with 2010 i really haven't been following whats coming, because i've been underwhelmed for the last two releases. The only thing that excites me (of teh things i'm aware of - and as i've already admitted i havent' looked into it much due to lack of excitement) with 2010 is the new release of TFS.
