There are a number of enhancements and bug fixes to the tools.The 
Process Browser runs under MVC. The FileList has been improved. There 
are improvements to the basic classes (Async file support, exceptions 
(a biggie), etc., etc.)

Some of the new Morphic tools (like the ArchiveViewer) will run in 
MVC; so unless you've actually gotten rid of Morphic, you can use 
them too.

I use MVC for development on my NEC MobilePro 770 (131MHz MIPS) since 
I find Morphic to be very slow on it.
