An interesting article from Justin Whitney on five important things regarding VSTO 2005. Well actually this is what the title says, but I only see 4 things mentioned. It could be the vodka - this week I am in Moscow :)

What is the fifth one? I would add the host controls and the use of Windows controls in Word and Excel as number five and even the creation of Outlook add-ins as number six.
