I find the term "secure" associated with anything Microsoft somewhat of a funny paradox. After all, this is the company that recently told the federal government that their software and code was so poorly written and insecure, that disclosing the source could be disasterous.
On "cutting edge web technologies," please remember that staying ahead of the curve means possibly openning yourself up to security flaws that could be detrimental to the site. Also, adopting MS Explorer specific features would be a bad idea as well. IE has lately been Microsoft's biggest security problem, with patches released often recently.
And I say this as someone who's busted enough code for a living to know. Writing it securely is much harder than it is to break it.
On the other hand, some of these new features are great. Having the seperate forums more connected is a good idea to me, and the custom forums option will be nice as well. However, I'm not big on interface changes. I look at it long enough to get used to it, and then it changes. Could it be possible to keep or customize the interface?
