Visual Studio 2005 SP1 available!

And suddenly it's there...

• Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite SP1 (includes SP1 updates for Standard, Professional, and Team Editions of Visual Studio 2005)
• Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server SP1
• Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions SP1
• Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Update for Windows Vista Beta

There are over 70 improvements for common development scenarios, 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

On Windows Vista, you'll have to install Service Pack 1 and then install the SP1 Update for Windows Vista. Remember that this is a beta.

Unfortunately the update for Vista version is still not yet available! The official version should be released Q1 2007, but I need it now. So I'd like to install the vista update beta version, if it'll come available.
