VS2003 SP1 released - Mike gets the beer ;)
-
anyone know what's been changed/fixed? The english release notes point to a dead knowlegebase article.

Perhaps they did't fix anything & they're just trying to shut the devs up... This theory may just be ludicrous enough to be possible. :paranoid:

I'd imagine so...although with the 2003 SP out of the way, at least they'll have more resources to dedicate to fixing the real nasties in VS2005.

I hesitate to ask what these are?

So, as someone who skipped VS2003 and jumped straight to VS2005, I may have to wait a bit for a service pack, eh? :sigh:

I'm waiting for a day or so...got some testing and a software release to complete first!

Along the lines of, who watches the watchers, or who tests the testers, how do you know the SP won't actually break more things than it fixes? I find it odd that people jump on an SP, but they're reluctant to jump on a product until there's been at least one SP. I guess there's a history of crappy first releases but good SP's? Marc

ROTF! I clicked on the hotfix link, and got this site[^] that looks like Thai or something. Marc

Exactly! I'm already having fun watching, and I don't even use VS2003 anymore! :) Marc

I noticed that too. Presumably they haven't noticed yet. :doh:

Broken release notes on a major service pack that took 3 years to get out. Always a good sign of attention to detail (or lack thereof!) :sigh: Any bets on regressions?

Well one thing is for sure: you won't catch me downloading this Service Pack until they get the Release Notes back up. I want to know exactly what this thing is doing before I install it. I really don't feel like re-imaging my PC because my registry got irrevocably deranged. X|

Hi Folks, Yes we know about the broken link and are working to get the KB up. Shooting for 11:30am PST but will probably be a bit longer. Regards, Lee Visual Studio PM

So, as someone who skipped VS2003 and jumped straight to VS2005, I may have to wait a bit for a service pack, eh? :sigh:
I currently only use C# 2005 Express, so would a VS2005 SP fix apply to this as well as VS? :confused:
