I'm pretty much excited I can say. I'm a student and learning new things, I'm looking forward to play with .NET 4.0

I'm very excited too, cause I won a copy in the Azure contest. 
If you like to get more challenge - why don't you try a bit assembler?

I can't wait, I been on the Visual Studio road for as long as.... well Visual C++ 1.x

If you want to make it harder to do your job install Win3.1 (it uses a mouse as well) and use notepad to write assembly code with
Its about continuos progression. MS has chosen to not add too much to .Net4 (which I aagree 100% with), but VS 2010 has many new goodies. I love the WPF code editor, it works really well, only subtle differences to the previous one but I went back to VS 2008 the other day and code editing was less pleasant.
If you are planning to even consider Silverlight, don't bother withb VS 2008. I've been doing SL development in VS 2010 Beta2 since the day it came out, RC is much better (but has a few new bugs  ) but I can't wait till RTM relaese...

I am considering Silverlight. I've made a few small applications with it using VS 2010 RC. It is not bad at all. There were so demo videos on line, so I was able to set up paging and WCF services to hit the database. My biggest gripe with silver light programing is the error handling / debugging. With ASP.Net webforms, I put a few lines of code in the global.asax on error event to call my generic error handler class and I basically get the line number and file name of the .net code that caused an exception. I still haven't figured out how to handle errors properly in SL. You can't email from Silverlight, for obvious reasons. I get that MS does not want me to turn browsers into spam servers, but I haven't found a good solution for dealing with exceptions. This has prevented me from using it for any major application.
I didn't get any requirements for the signature

Some features might be nice to have, but I'd be more excited if it didn't require a Cray to run at a usable speed.

I am. I skipped VS2008 and don't want to get too far behind what's current, so VS2010 is pretty much a definite for me.

It could be a better tool for cloud development.

Oh yes!
One word, Intellitrace! Being able to debug forward and now BACKWARDS!?! Do you know how much time that will save? Have you ever been debuging through a program, only to realize you've gone too far in your code? Right now, you have to restart the program, and try to get back to the exact spot you were before. If you have medium to high complexity programs, this can suck up alot of time in your day. I'm really exited about this.

I didn't know about that feature. That sounds awesome.

I guess I am one of the few who is looking forward to VS 2010. I am not a big fan of VS 2008.
I find it quirky and sometimes maddening slow when working with web apps. I actually still prefer working with VS 2005 as I find it a more solid implementation.
However, I can understand if many technicians have little appetite for yet another release of VS. Much of what you need to accomplish can be done in VS 2005... and quite well. After a point there is simply not much a vendor can offer in a new version of an IDE or a compiler except for new but very esoteric features such as generics or LINQ...

Oh yeah, specially the new features on parallelism of Framework 4.0

I'm doing a lot of silverlight and xaml. So YES!!! I'm excited. The IDE has greatly improved tools to make development for those technologies easier.

Don't confuse VS 2010 (the IDE) with .Net 4 (the SDK). The new features like optional parameters, Silverlight 4, MVC2, etc. are part of .Net 4, not necessarily VS 2010.
That being said I am excited a bit about both. While I have no real business need for .Net 4 I do plan on moving some of our stuff to MVC 2 and I might have a side project in the wings from a client that I'll probably look into WPF 4 for.
I'm excited about the new IDE only because of the new WPF interface and MEF integration. VS in the past was always clunky and I was really afraid to ever upgrade. Something always broke and it wasn't until a few service packs that I felt comfortable using it.
However, ever since VS 2005 and especially with VS 2008 it seems they really have ironed out a lot of issues. I can honestly say 2008 is my most favorite version. It is quick and just seems to work really well. There are occasional times where it dies but that's rare. Having the new MEF and WPF should make vendor add-ons like Resharper much more stable and powerful. So, when products work great and add new power I am always excited to load the new one. I'm looking forward to VS 2010.

I think I'm going to sit this one out for a little while. The stuff I develop is mostly business-intelligence components in C#. I don't develop Web GUI (Windows GUI is fine for test apps that test my code). SQL 2008 is a good back-end for this - it all works.
I put the VS2010 RC onto a VM and, yeah - it's looks nice. Seems to work as well as VS2008 does - but I don't see anything there that requires an upgrade. I got VS2008 Standard for a good price - can't see dropping $500+ for something that won't get me anything right now. They're not going to produce a "Standard" version of 2010. Maybe if I were a web developer I'd feel differently.

Pros:
- C++0x (although it has not yet been standardized;
- Improved C++ Intellisense;
- Ribbon designer (which I haven't really had the time to play with yet).
Cons:
- No Intellisense in C++/CLI (not that I use it much anyway);
- Broken Intellisense in C;
- No support for the (bitmap) coding font I use. The beta crashed on it, didn't try with the RC, but I do know that WPF (which I don't really like to begin with) doesn't support bitmap fonts.
Conclusion:
Not really excited. Might even wait for the release after this one.

I care, and am excited!
Specifically with regards to VS2010, the new features for debugging multi-threaded code look awesome.
However, it will also be great to get the TFS 2010 improvements, and to be able to use .Net 4 (we currently use .Net 2 and my boss has resisted upgrading to 3/3.5 - but he thinks .Net 4 has enough useful stuff in it to go there when it is released). Even if there's not much else in VS itself, .Net 4 has a bunch of great stuff.

It wasn't just about credit limits, it was about knowing the person and predicting their future actions. A hotel could predict when to offer him a free room for his trysts and his wife's divorce lawyer could server him the papers.
