Wow. Coming from the Mac, I have never realized you had to pay, and possibly pay so very much, for dev tools on Windows. What kind of things does VS do that are exciting? I see they have a feature list a million miles long, but I can't get a sense of what VS does that eclipse or Xcode does not. Color me surprised.

Supports .NET projects ;) Seriously though, VS and Eclipse compare quite similarly on features. There are also free Express editions of most MS tools which cover perhaps 80% of the features so the price isn't really an issue.
