Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 now available

I know, this is old news from last friday, but I've only read it now. Here's the reference from theserverside.net, and my personal comment: Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite SP1 is 431MB! Is this a reasonable size for an SP?!?!

More than a year after the release of Visual Studio 2005, Microsoft has finished VS 2005 SP 1. The service pack addresses issues Microsoft discovered through both internal testing and customer feedback.

In all, there are more than 70 enhancements, ranging from support for mobile devices and the SQL Sever Compact Edition to integration with Excel 2007 and Project 2007. In addition, the service pack includes the Web Application Project, which is a previously released tool for migrating Web apps from ASP.NET 1.x to ASP.NET 2.0.

Three service packs are available now:

Finally, there is a Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Update for Windows Vista Beta. This service pack, aimed at developers using VS 2005 in conjunction with Vista, will officially ship after the new operating system ships in early 2007.
