You've likely already read about many of the new dev features announced today at PDC, but I figured I'd highlight some of the ones I know about here.

• Atlas! The technology preview of the ASP.NET team's Ajax support is here. You can get info on installing the new templates into VS2005 or VWD Beta 2 here. 
• The LINQ Project and C# 3.0/Visual Basic 9.0 language enhancements. Yes, Visual Basic next (after 2005) is actually version 9.0 of the product. Isn't that cool? Either way, see the homes where we're isolating all the new 'future' content. This way, those people who are interested can read about stuff you can't actually use in production for a while. People who don't can just ignore the /future/ pages. LINQ looks like it's going to be pretty fun.
• Oh, yeah. Also Windows Vista stuff. Office 12 looks really cool (first I saw of it -- if you don't count me looking over the shoulder of a PM on the flight down).
• BillG gets the big laugh. Alert Slashdot.
