Microsoft releases VS 2005 Service Pack update for Vista

ENT News | at | by Mike

Microsoft announced Tuesday that it is shipping the Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista -- as promised.

The update primarily fixes known issues with Visual Studio 2005 SP1 for Vista running on the new operating system. Microsoft officials had announced that the update was coming when they shipped SP1 for Vista at the end of last year.

Not surprisingly, because Vista adds around 7,000 new application programming interfaces for VS 2005 to track and manage, providing a bug free experience while working on Vista applications in Visual Studio's integrated development environment has been a bit challenging for Microsoft.
