“We've done a lot of work across the stack, and added a number of cool features, whether it is the networking stack (support for cross-domain calls), rich data manipulation (imagine ado.net-lite in script), or support for Windows Live gadgets on the client, or support for implementing "bridges" or server-side proxies to communicate with REST and SOAP services to build mash-ups. In addition to features, a lot of new documentation, and samples are also now available.”
