What control does Microsoft use to display the various news stories in the
start page in Visual Studio 2008? Is it a ListView?

I assume you're talking about the blue page with "Recent Projects",
"Getting Started", "Visual Studio Headlines", and "MSDN: Visual
Studio" on it, correct? It looks to me to be either a custom control
or, more likely, a WebBrowser. With the latter, you'd just have to
pass it a local webpage (a string) which could be dynamically
generated based on local information (in this case, the list of recent
projects, the getting started info, Visual Studio Headlines, and the
MSDN info from the RSS feed), or even a fixed page which is populated
with the information dynamically.

Hope this helps,

According to Spy++, the blue bar at the top is a button, and where the
text is rendered, it is simply a ListBox.
