Digital BW, The Print

Lightroom appears to have some distinctly B&W oriented tools, including 
direct greyscale conversions from the browser (And the greyscale 
conversion is reportedly intelligent, rather than a locked conversion). 
Luminous Landscapes has a mini-review up and covers some B&W related 
features.
