MS's presentations & demos on .Net are among the best & easiest to follow that we have seen.
MS is notorious for presentations and demos (eg, the anti-trust trial - cute presentations and demos, that is, if someone hadn't caught them red-handed with hands in the fake demo cookie jar.)
To trust any Microsoft presentation or demo is as much as to stamp oneself on the forhead with a blinking, flashing, audibly buzzing tattoo saying "Gullible, gullible, gullible".
So far, Microsoft has produced a lot of tools and promised others. So far, everyone I know who might be one of those eligible for switching hates the stuff.
