That sounds interesting - do you have a download link for the new runtime? 
Lately MS has been allowing the general public to download that type of 
stuff. I just got a dual-core machine and would like to see how it runs.

Last I looked, they had a v3.0 and now v3.5 beta Framework, but that just 
used the v2.xxx runtime.

Thanks.
