I believe that list is accurate Aaron.  I'd like to talk about not shipping with DayTrader installed 
for 1.1.  This will reduce our footprint and eliminate the QName problem we have.  It would be nice 
to have the auto install stuff you did to pull down the samples and install them but don't know how 
hard that would be to integrate into 1.1.

The only other item someone might have is if they deploy any applications that use the QName when 
running on 1.5 and then try to start under 1.4 (or vice versa).
