This is great but I expected the Panaorama and Pivot controls. Are we to use the ones in Codeplex or do you know?

I see that there are now project templates for Panorama and Pivot applications.

Awesome new UI stuff, but will my plain vanilla .NET CF 2 WM managed app install and run as-is on a WP7 device? (Hope hope hope...) Or, is it back to the drawing board and time to buy midnight oil for me?

A stand-alone download for the emulator with a simple config file would be appreciated by front end/UI web devs. I can't speak for others of my ilk but it's really not selling me on MS development software to be forced to download VS Express 2010 (they have the full version of 2008 here - oops - not compatible - really? I had to support IE 6 for 10 years but you guys won't even go back 2?) and XNA Game Studio just to check look, feel and JS behavior on a mostly static site. I'm aware of the PageUp key trick for keyboard access, which is nice. A config file would still be lovely. Otherwise, it's been a relatively lightweight and stable emulator experience. Thanks for that. It's a treat after dealing with blackberry emus.
