Great job from Luc Roeder. Reflector 4.0 include some good stuff and I would like to mention two good news:

Code Model: While previous versions of Reflector partly used the CLR Reflection infrastructure, the new version 4.0 has changed to use a code model library for reading assembly files into memory. As a result Unload and Refresh operations really unload files from memory and Reflector is no longer locking files on disk.

Reflector and .NET Framework 2.0: Reflector.exe runs on all .NET Framework versions. The new code model library loads .NET Framework 2.0 assemblies with no .NET Framework 2.0 installed. However, a Reflector.exe.config file is still going to make Reflector run faster on .NET Framework 2.0.

This will surely help to understand what's happen behind the Whidbey curtains.
