refactoring: refactoring is new, so let's say you have a function foo(). it is called by 20 other functions and you want to rename it to loo(), what would you do? in the old VS, you'll have to search and replace every reference to foo() in your program and change it to loo(). in VS 2005, all you have to do, is right click on the definition of foo(), select refactoring-->rename and type in loo(). All the references will be automatically updated too.

intellisense: u're right, it's code completion feature for methods inside classes, however in VS 2005 it is extended to all methods in the framework.
