I was wrong about not being able to run debug builds on normal machines, you can. You cannot, however, run debug applications that use managed DirectX because they throw an exception (which you can set VS.NET to ignore). Neither can you run applications that have missing assemblies, such as the debugger I tried running.
Not having a proper .NET 2.0 version of Managed DirectX is a big problem for us at the moment. We're managing with the 1.1 version, but since it now looks like the December DirectX release will still be beta we're looking at February before we can start using it. The 1.1 versions seem to be working as well as we need them to at the moment so I'm not too worried.
