Brian Goldfarb has a good explanation of a couple of the changes to ASP.NET 2.0, namely, "magic directory" name changes, and the compilation model. It looks like the bin directory survives! The cool thing is that both of these changes are directly related to feedback from the community. It really is a treat to know that our input is affecting the products we use. For a company as large as Microsoft to listen to us is awesome.

Next, Eric Lippert has some more details about bouncing zero bugs. Best quote? "if you reward developers for fixing bugs, they'll write a lot of bugs."
