More reasons for Visual Studio 2008

Jon Box (Architect Evangelist extraordinaire) thought my post discussing risk differences between Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008 was a "Nice Job", but he actually did have a few comments on the new mobile-related features. He was right on, but he's too busy to post them. Let me do that it for him.

There are also a set of enhancements for mobile development (native and managed). Unit testing, LINQ, new .NETCF CLR, subset of WCF and WCF over email, improved emulators (in WM6 SDK), WM5 SDK included now, etc.

With WM6, we get Security Configuration Manager, WISP, new sound APIs, CabSignTool, WM6 SDK (Fake GPS, FakeServer, Cell Emulator, Hopper, etc).
