Windows Microsoft's Professional Developers Conference is expected to be a coming out party of sorts for the next version of Visual Studio, code-named Orcas. Primary among the new features in and new direction for Orcas will be advances in how the toolset handles data, sources said. Data becomes "cool" in Orcas, said a source familiar with Microsoft's strategy for Orcas.

"Another thing that bother's me about IDE's is limited language support. VS.NET has support for it's particular languages, but has no support for other languages. "

Visual Studio don't have direct built-in support for other languages, true. It is however possible to create IDE plug-in's AFAIK.
I can't point you to any resources about how to make such plug-in's, but as an example look up ActiveState's python and perl plug-in's for VS.

A little quick searching around and I found this site that should have information about how to extend VS to support other languages than the builtin ones. As far as I can tell, it should be even be possible to make a VI-like editor for visual studio.
