Michael KlucherProgram Manager – XNA Game Studio
We're putting the final touches on our first release of XNA Game Studio Express and our launch on December 11th is less than three weeks away! Many of the team’s members have started to think about features that could be implemented in versions of XNA Game Studio Express down the road. While the team has ideas about things we’d like to do, we rely on you to tell us about the things you’re interested in or that you’d like us to change in future releases of the Product. The best way to share this information with us is by using Microsoft Connect. If you’re unfamiliar with Microsoft Connect, please visit this previous post on our blog, for step by step instructions on how to get started.
We’ve set aside a site on Connect where you can file issues or suggest features for the next version of XNA Game Studio Express. If a feature has already been suggested, you can show your support for that feature by voting for it. We use those votes to help evaluate whether to implement the feature. It’s always better to vote for a feature rather than suggest it twice. So if you have some ideas to make XNA Game Studio Express even better, head on over to Microsoft Connect and add, or vote for, your favorite feature suggestions today!

C# is the best, but WHY only EXPRESS support?

Am I a second grade developer?

Networking, networking, oh, and networking.
It's a great start though.
Also, I would like to see a bone thrown the way to MSDN Ultima-Platininumum-Universal-Team for Whatever subscribers. I mean we are paying well over $2,000 a year already, it would have been nice to throw in a free year to the XNA Club. Just a thought.
i was reading in Michael Kluchers bloog somewhere about talks of tablet pc support in XNA i think this would be cool as it give another avenue for small indie developers to get into and develop something interesting . shame there wasn't a way to have the input from the tablet be transposed to xbox360 input . make the tablet a new controller
As I mentioned in a post on the XNA Team Blog we're currently investigating feature options for the next version of XNA Game Studio Express. One of the ideas we've kicked around is supporting features in the Tablet PC and UMPC platforms. Features like
