    What exactly does this do? Is it for W7 or Vista? Cause I'm running shark007's codec pack and it rocks so far.

    Its for .NET developers using new Windows 7 features, completely unrelated with codecs

    Creepy Avatar... Like what was said before, it's for developers :) Developing in Windows 7 is exciting! It's loads easier than Vista...

    Nope, You have to import them into your project or reference them to be able to use any new Vista/Windows 7 feature.. It'll be a few years before any new features are integrated into the Framework

    I wouldn't use VS2010 for our projects either, VS2010 beta1 is rather unstable and you'll have to manually convert the project files back into VS08 since thats what were all using or another format VS2010 will most probably end up using, VS08 is more stable and reliable compiling code
