ScottGu blogged about the roadmap for the ASP.NET MVC Framework, and it sure looks like this framework is shaping up to become quite a diamond with all the new features. I especially like this:

Starting with this upcoming preview release we will enable applications to instead directly reference the System.Web.Mvc.dll assembly from the application's \bin directory.  This means that no setup programs need to be run on a sever to use the ASP.NET MVC Framework - you can instead just copy your application onto a remote ASP.NET server and have it run (no registration or extra configuration steps required).

We are also doing work to enable the ASP.NET MVC framework to run in "partial/medium trust" hosting scenarios.  This will enable you to use it with low-cost shared hosting accounts - without requiring the hosting provider to-do anything to enable it (just FTP your application up and and it will be good to run - they don't need to install anything).

They've also changed the default behaviour of a few things, like not having to explicitly mark controller action methods with an attribute. I think too that was a request from the community which the MVC-team has taken to ther hearts and implemented.

This framework will sure be widely used...
