A new improved Whidbey features document...

I dig working on community on the C# team. Raj my boss discussed me working on community about a month back in the wake of Erics departure and I happily accepted. It makes me really happy to put out content that helps developers be awesome. It makes me happy to chat with customers and make our product better. It really thrills me when I listen to customers explain a problem, and I can say "Yeah, we fixed that" and make them super happy.

Given that I would like to advertise our new features document for Whidbey. You can find this at:http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp/2005/overview/default.aspx.

This doc discusses the new features in the C# IDE/Debugger/Language/Platform features in a nice digestible, picturesque sort of way. Dan Fernandez & Patrick Barnes deserve kudos for driving this, but I'm really excited about this as well as this was something the PM team & I thought up a while ago in a meeting room. We realized that we had a tough time wrapping our head around all the new stuff in Whidbey and if we had problems, the community must have trouble too. So we came up with getting this document going. The first version was at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnvs05/html/whidbey_csharp_preview.asp and it got really high ratings.

Anyway, my long term plan is make this an evolving document, that we update for Beta2 and on. Ideally I would like to ship it in the docs as well. Let me know if you have feedback!

Why can't documents like this be also made available as a single download?... I prefer to browse things like this as a single entity. Just my personal pet peeve of the day :)

I agree with Michael's comments --- it should be available in .doc format.

The way the pages are currently laid out don't print nicely from IE. Stuff runs off the right side of the page and the printed copy is pretty useless for showing to the boss.
