I'm just watching the video from that page. It is impressive just how much 
of intellisense they have working with PTVS: for example inside a function 
doing 'find all references' on a local variable that happens to be a method 
passed in to the function shows you all def lines for methods that are 
passed as parameters. There's a heck of a lot of type inferencing going on.
