主要特性（来自白皮书）

· Target Windows Vista and .NET Framework 3.0 development

o Developers will be easily able to leverage new platform technologies and deliver more compelling applications to their customers by effortlessly incorporating new Windows Presentation Foundation features into both existing Windows Forms applications and new applications.

· Create Microsoft Office applications

o Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) is now fully integrated into Visual Studio code name “Orcas” Professional Edition. VSTO enables developers to customize various Office applications, such as Outlook® and PowerPoint®, to improve end-user productivity and significantly improve deployment.

· Handle data more smoothly

o With the introduction of Language Integrated Query (LINQ) and various other data access improvements, developers can now deal with data using a consistent programmatic approach, perform data access with new data design surfaces and use pre-built classes for the occasionally connected design pattern.

· Enable new web experiences

o Beyond the secure, reliable and extensible infrastructure of IIS, developers can easily create Web applications with more interactive, more responsive and more efficient client-side execution using the seamless integration and familiar programming model of ASP.NET AJAX and other extensions and enhancements.

· Improves application life-cycle management (ALM)

o ALM provides great support, not only for managing the entire software development life cycle but also for the critical interaction with the final end-users and managers of an enterprise application.
