What is so revolutionary?

Lot's of things changed in version 3.0. The major things are notoriously known from the beta version:

• Interop
• Touchscreen support
• FAT filesystem
• DPWS Tools
• Wi-Fi
• SSL
• Serial port improvements
• USB Device
• Color fonts
• Emulator enhancements

But what I like the most is the support for Visual Studio 2008 including Express editions. I believe this is great step forward to mass adoption of this amazing platform. Together with the new easier and cheap access the porting kit it will bring (hopefully) lot's of Micro Framework devices in every house hold.

Go for it!

enjoy!
