Even though Mustang is still in Beta, I'm going to go ahead and cover many of the new features and enhancements introduced in this release.

Wow, thank god for the "Splash Screen Direct Support", I don't know how I've been able to live without it for the past 10 years. This is huge and will take a burden off of my shoulders as a developer. Watch out Ruby, Java has splash screen support...

/sarcasm ;-)

Actually, that is a great feature that should have been in Java a long time ago. It means you can get an instant splash screen instead of having to wait for the JVM to start up. This can be slow when loading a large amount of classes over a slow network connection, and means users often try to start the application multiple times because they didn't see anything come up the 1st time.
