Hay Stephen thanks for your talk. A few thinks i would like to give you as feedback.
minute
11:07 insert snippet is a cool feature but for the table it took about 3 seconds - that is to slow (i assume this will be better once VS 2010 is out of beta)
12:03 CTRL K + CTRL X to insert snippet
Is it possible to use type find ahead with this: CK + CX + u would directly jump to the tags that start with "u"
Great way to use jQuery as a tool - why waste time and money when there is already a great library out there. Concentrate on improving the things we love and can be more productive with (for example see the great products of telerik).
Please talk to the vs.studio guys to improve the speed of VS and some others things (code folding and syntax highlighting is sometimes messed up / buggy)
Thanks

Hi Stephen, awesome talk can't wait for 4.0 to hit the streets.
You asked for feedback so here's mine:
With ListViews if the is outside the control then surely it will always be rendered in the mark-up, whereas in the old style at least if there are no results in the datasource an empty won't get added to the page. Is there some way to wrap that up in the control?

Stephen,
Around minute 33 you claim that a URL like /VideoGallery/Custom/1 is more SEO friendly than an alternative (let's say /ShowVideo.aspx?category=Customer&id=1 ). I have to disagree. Search engines today can deal with querystrings just fine. The folder-format URL is a bit cleaner looking for a human, and is certainly much closer to a REST-ful API format, but it has no more context for a search engine than the querystring-based URL does.
What *would* be better for SEO would be if the URL were something like /Videos/Dog_Playing_Piano or even /Videos/Dog_Playing_Piano/1 if need be. The key is that the keywords of the page are embedded in the URL, since that tends to boost SEO ranking.
Great talk, by the way, just nitpicking :).
