    I have seen the new features in Visual Studio 2010 and some of it are really useful for me. Unfortunately many of my applications run on computers of my customers where .NET Framework 2.0 is installed, but an installation of .NET Framework 3.5 or 4.0 would be very complicated.

    What Features of VS 2010 and especially VB.NET 10 can I use when targeting .NET Framework 2.0?
    a) Can I use features like auto implementing properties, multiline lamdas, array initializers, the new List Constructors or Generic In/Out types?
    b) Can I use the new parallel loops?
