Love the debugger team

I have quite a bit of rants against several teams at Microsoft, but I wanted to dedicate this post to the VS debugger team, which has done a superb job in VS 2005. Maybe it has to do to the fact that I am a debugger user and not a developer, but so far the only issues that I had with the debugger are stuff like "You didn't configure E&C in the option panel, etc".

This post was prompt by a fact that I accidently discovered recently. You can step into the web service code from the client code, if it is on the local machine. Just to give an idea about the eneromosity of this feature, this means that you automatically attach yourself to another process, find the correct place to go, and go there. I would have never thought of trying this, because "obviously" this would work.
