Fixes in Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 and 3.0 SP1
A reader pointed out that the list of fixes for .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 were published. I also see from the .NET Framework 3.5 download page that the list of fixes for .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 1 were also published. Both are listed below.
But what is the relationship between 3.5 and 2.0 SP1 and 3.0 SP1? I mentioned previously, but left out a crucial piece about .NET 3.5.

- Ships for x86, x64, and IA64
- Contained in %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 for x86
- Contained in %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727 for x64 and IA64
- .NET 3.0 SP1 contains additional class libraries like CardSpace, WCF, WPF, and WF and runs on CLR v2.0.50727
