I posted in January about a proposed cut of crashdump (windbg: ".dump /f", now superseded by minidumps) support in Visual Studio 2005. Thanks to everyone who commented - I'm sure you'd like to hear the results... drumroll please...

We cut it. Hopefully you won't be hit too hard by this. Fortunately Visual Studio 2003 and 2005 are designed to run side-by-side if you have any urgent needs, and of course there's always windbg for those with no other options. :0)
