In the same post, he also includes a screenshot of the new Visual Studio Extension Manager (mentioned previously):

You’ll be able to find more details about the Extension Manager here as we get closer to shipping VS 2010 Beta 1 (no dates announced yet). Stay tuned!

    Suggestion::Some extensions need a configuration dialog in order to configure some parameters.Instead of polluting the toolbar and/or menus, the Extension Manager should have a "Configure" button that allows one to configure the selected extension's params right from the manager.

    Hi Nouj,We generally recommend that extensions add their own page to the Tools/Options dialog as the standard way to expose settings.Thanks, Aaron
