All you need to do is to paste the video link on a blank line in the write new content page. Wordpress will handle the rest. You can get the same functionality with plugins today, but native support is ace.

I`d reckon we will be able to adjust the convert function to our HTML5 needs in our own functions.php file.

You could follow the testing process by signing on to the mailing list. Wordpress recommend that you use the beta versions on your test server only, and not on live sites incase anything goes wrong.

You could update your test server with a addon called WordPress Beta Tester. The addon, as with all addons are also available with the Add New option under your plugins settings. The addon will permanently give the option to upgrade to the newest Wordpress test version as long as it is active.

All the functions they add/subtract will be done before the first beta release. The test phase goes through several beta stages to squeeze out bugs, and then a couple of release candidates. The wordpress team is hoping for a late November or early December release for version 2.9.
