Also included in VS2010 (and included in this beta release) are significant extensions to Dotfuscator CE that support
* the injection of feature and session monitoring (streaming usage data to a developer-specified endpoint),
* the injection of application expiry dates, and
* the injection of tamper defense and notification.
* Opt-in/Opt-out logic can also be injected.

Microsoft first announced this functionality at PDC2008

Well, VS2010 is insanely slow on my machine (so much so that if it doesn’t improve by RTM, I’m never going to upgrade to it).

Specs: Core 2 Duo E6600, 4GB DDR2-800, 10k RPM drives, Windows 7 RC.

Same machine makes VS2008 *fly*.

I guess Microsoft’s “optimization” is waiting for developers to upgrade to i7.

I have it installed in a real machine windows 7 RC.

Nice WPF property editor, almost-impossible-to-use-slow. Let’s have faith in the RTM.

Which OS did you install it on? I installed it in VMWare on Windows 7 RC, a combo that doesn’t support Aero. VS2010 doesn’t display/draw correctly however. Most of the menu items are invisible until you click them. The start page is also blank until you hover over it, at which point some of the images begin to appear.
