VS2008 SP1 and NetFX3.5 SP1 Released (Adam Braden)

Today we shipped Service Pack 1 (SP1) for both Visual Studio 2008 and the .Net Framework 3.5.  This is the first time we’ve release both a VS SP and a .NetFramework SP at the same time!  Additionally, we released ENU, JPN and 8 additional languages that ship with SQL 2008 at the same time!  See the announcement on Soma’s blog:

Here are the links for information and where to get it:

• http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9330986 for the SP1 information page
• http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9330987 for download selections - VS 2008 SP1, VS Express 2008 SP1, .NetFX 3.5 SP1, VS 2008 TFS 2008 SP1

For more details on what’s included, Scott Guthrie does a great job listing all the major features in his post on the beta here.  It also includes nearly 1000 customer reported bugs and Watson issues.

It was a huge effort by the team and all of Visual Studio, .NetFramework, and SQL to align these deliverables in such a short time – 9 months after shipping VS2008 RTM.  We hope you enjoy and continue sending us feedback.

Thanks,

Adam Braden
