Lori asks an interesting question about what parts of the LH sdk should ship in the OS. I personally love this idea… what if there was even a developer SKU of the OS? The Start menu could have your debugger, editors, etc readily available. VSPad rather than notepad. The %path% environment variable should include all the great developer goo. Instead of “Clippy”, we could have ChrisAn or DonBox pop-up and offer random, but interesting programming suggestions at odd times ;-)
What else would you like to see?

No, no, wait... Don and the rest of the Band on the runtime as MCE dancers! Now that's what we need. - Anonymous

There is definitely some merit to adding dev tools to the OS. I'm not sure it would need to be an entirely different SKU, but I would love to see something like this happen.

A good console shell and a good build system are also musts. Wait a minute, that's all coming with MS Shell and MSBuild. That's good news. :-) Hey, just make sure my console windows look like the other windows in Longhorn. Ya know, with rounded corners and themed properly. - Anonymous

Seems that devs should be as close to the end user experience as possible. It also seems that a dev sku would make that more difficult than it is at present.
