ConfigMgr.next revealed at MMS09
The MMS09 State of the Union session revealed what the next version of SCCM will look like. The MMC is gone in favor of the Outlook-esqe toolbar (wonder-bar) as seen in SCOM 2007. It also requires Server 2008 64-bit as well as SQL 2008 64-bit. The other big piece of news is the elimination of ASP web reports in favor of SQL Server reporting services only. See all the screen shots and read more about it on Kenneth van Surksum's blog:

windows 7 will have near complete xp compatibility
A new feature being announced is XP mode for Windows 7. XP mode is essentially an application running in a Virtual PC virtual environment. Installing the application in the virtual pc environment will result in it being published to windows 7 as an application. The requirements for this technology includes processor virtualization support (Intel VT or AMD-V). It will be a separate out of band update released in final form to coincide with the release of windows 7 (so it's not actually built in). Paul Thurrott has a nice set of screen shots on the whole thing here: http://www.winsupersite.com/win7/xp_mode_pre_shots.asp
