I just got a blurb from Bob Tabor (LearnVisualStudio.net) about a couple of videos he's done on Whidbey, and he says that there are *major* changes a-comin'.

I haven't downloaded those videos yet, so I can't tell you exactly why he offers that opinion, but if you're interested, you might want to check it out.
