Vincent, I'm seeing a different behaviour here. For references to non-system assemblies, VS.NET 2003 copies assemblies locally by default.
project references : default = true references to system assemblies : default = false references to non-system assemblies : default = true which matches the solution task behaviour. What version of VS.NET are you using ?
