So we're getting our first batch of feature requests. Far and away the biggest request so far is generic support.

As Eric Rudder said, think of VSTA as the next generation of VBA. But is far more powerful, with the entire power of the .NET Framework, Visual Studio, and C# and VB .NET. </P> <P>This morning at 11, the TLN 205 is all about VSTA. We had to give the talk a cryptic name to avoid letting the cat out of the bag. Go to that session to learn all about VSTA.</P> <P>And if you want to learn about the underlying architecture of VSTA, come to my talk -- FUN 309 -- this afternoon. We will reveal the Managed Addin Framework (MAF). It is the set of system level pieces that allow VSTA and all Addin enabled apps to work and work together in a common, flexible way. Rest assured I will be blogging extensively on MAF.</P><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=466153" width="1" height="1">VSTA
