The long-awaited Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio.NET 2003 was released earlier this week. SP1 fixes over 400 VS.NET 2003 bugs , including the top 50% of VS.NET crashes reported using through the Windows Error Reporting Service (via
Soma). Now we know where that information went, and that it was put to good use! Most notable from the
fix list are several IntelliSense fixes, plus resolutions to assorted IDE crashes. Hopefully a service pack for Visual Studio 2005 will be delivered before 2008.
Note: at a hefty 156.3 MB for SP1, some users are reporting long download and install times.
