John,

As long as it is Beta that is not sure

But what is for you a winform database developer?

Don't expect something as a replacement for AdoNet or Linq to SQL or EF

There will be a lot of things around programming.

As it is alone about VB (where this newsgroup is for,) then it are things
like removing the need for the continuation character, easier way of
creating properties, implementing with VB code in a better way SilverLight
and WPF.

Just an added note - I think the 2010 time frame maybe a good time to begin
migrating applications away from winforms to wpf.

Ah, why? If an application works, why "fix" it?
In any case, I would wait until MS tunes up WPF to make it perform on a par
with Windows Forms.
VS2010 has a new Chart control (by Dundas) but we won't know for sure what
other data features have been added until after the mini-SDR that the data
team is putting on for MVPs in the next few weeks. Lord knows we've asked
for a lot of changes but so far I haven't seen them implemented.

I didn't suggest rewriting - I suggested migration. You can create new forms
etc using WPF.

I hope support for some type of MDI will be added... Is that possible?
