Just a highlight that i think is reall cool.

Chapter 2, Page 14

It talks about the new My Object that is provided only with VB.net 2005 and not with C# or any of the other components. The my object allows you to access a ton of common features of your computer. One of the features that stood out to me was the Ports. My.Computer.Ports will allow you to create a new serial port object on the local machine.

Meaning no 3rd party com library should be needed.
