Some great controls coming to Silverlight 2

I love how Shawn Burke of the Controls Team starts his latest post:

A little personal mea culpa from Shawn to start off the post, hopefully it's a sign that he'll post more often in the near future.

There's some great news in this post, first that there will be some controls coming soon, a partial list:

For those of you who aren't familiar with Shawn, he was the lead on the AJAX Control Toolkit team which provided some great controls for ASP.NET AJAX. What makes me most excited about this is that these controls are being developed "out of band" meaning that we won't have to wait for the next release of Silverlight to get even more controls to use. They will be released on CodePlex with source code at varying levels of completeness, and you'll be able to get the early bits if that's how you roll.

I know there's at least half of the controls above that I'm dying for so I can't wait to see them.
