Visual Studio 2005 SP1 is available for download here,
all 431Mb of it! Apprentely there’s a lot of “responsiveness, stability and performance”
issues addressed, as well as a bunch of new functionality including:
- New processor support (e.g., Core Duo) for code generation and profiling
- Performance and scale improvements in Team Foundation Server
- Team Foundation Server integration with Excel 2007 and Project 2007
- Tool support for occasionally connected devices and SQL Server Compact Edition
- Additional support for project file based Web applications
- Windows Embedded 6.0 platform and tools support
Hopefully it will stop VS2005 crashing whenever someone looks at it … >
