What's the compelling reason to upgrade to Visual Studio 2010 from VS2008?

Another Visual Studio is around the corner. I'm curious, what's in there that you've read about and/or found and/or tried out that you really consider worth shouting about?

Anything in there to dramatically improve productivity? Any cool testing features? Does it support lambda expressions in the watch window? Any neat refactoring features? Does it make coffee yet? Anything!

If you think of something in particular, a link to a good explanation of that something would also be very cool indeed :)

Hurray for Historical Debugger!

Unlike the current debugger, that records only the currently-active stack, the historical debugger records all events like prior function calls, method parameters, events, exceptions etc. This allows the code execution to be rewound in case a breakpoint wasn't set where the error occurred!

For those who like eye candy... The interface for VS2010 was completely rebuilt using WPF. It looks great!

The start page was reorganized to have categorical buttons, so it's much easier to navigate. I've heard you can create your own start pages in XAML if you choose. I'm not sure how useful that would really be.

I haven't inspected any major technical changes to VS2010 yet...

Also, because it was rewritten in Xaml itself, the design ability of Silverlight and WPF in the design view allows for drag/drop of components from the toolbox and easy manipulation just as we have had in WinForms for years.
