New SharePoint Features are Not Available in Visual Studio 2010 Beta1

After viewing the Channel 9 video on Sharepoint development with Visual Studio 2010 we were eagerly waiting for the for the Visual Studio 2010 beta release to try out all those Sharepoint goodies. But when we downloaded and used the Visual Studio2010 Beta 1 released last week, we were disappointed to see that only two Sharepoint templates were available. The ones for sequential and state machine workflows. The templates for other Sharepoint project types such as webparts, lists etc were missing.

Later we understood from the MSDN forum that the full Sharepoint features is stated only for Beta 2 release of Visual Studio 2010. So we need to wait until then.
