>topics are some of the things I've always wanted, especially 'Print to PDF' and 'Print to RTF/E-mail'. I'm sure that I'm not alone!

Firstly, put them in the wishlist here. MS will eventually see it (there are people here who know who to give it to).

You can print to PDF with the full version of Adobe Acrobat. I doubt MS is going to license this software from Adobe and include it in VS products.
