'Remoting' is a good addition in .NET, you can make Client/Server application that does, well whatever.

Also, creating web services is a new and very interesting. The web serivces packs XML commands in a SOAP packet so the resulting web service can be interoperable between any platform.

I would recommend playing with one of those.
