Hi Jeremy,
This is very interesting. Is this an enhanced version of Enterprise Templates? I've been meaning to work on Ent Templates for a long time and never actually got round to it.

Funny you bring this up right now. I was playing around with it yesterday, and I like the feature a lot. I did some fiddling with templates in VS2003, but it is much easier now.

Missing an 'add new interface' item? I can now easily add it myself. Not happy with the default templates? Copy the originals to your own template directory and modify them to your liking. And don't forget that you can relocate your own template directory to a directory with a name that is easier to rememeber.

However, I filed your step 5 as a bug (bug id FDBK11710). Having to restart VS just to refresh the add item dialog is not going to encourage people to use this feature more.

Project Item Templates and Project Templates do not replace Enterprise Templates. Enterprise Templates have additional features such as allowing the setting of rules on what a developer can or cannot do in a project. Project Templates itself are more focused on content rather then rules or policy.
