MSBuild Research

So I started to do a little bit of research on MSBuild and what it provides.  Since I am currently using nAnt to build my projects I was interested to see what MSBuild would provide over nAnt if anything.  MSBuild looks pretty good and very similar to nAnt but the one area where it is lacking is that it will only support .NET 2.0 at this point.  I want a single program to do my automated builds across the different .NET frameworks.
