And there lies the paradox (no pun intended). The most signficant new features in Fox are those that are geared toward interopability with .NET. Yet the core part of the Fox developer base could care less about those features. Yet the only way to justify new Fox investment inside of MS is to some how tie it into adoption of .NET - either now or sometime in the future. Yes - there are features that are of interest to the core Fox-Head - but they will be done as economically as possible - and the results will show that.
