VS2003 SP1 released - Mike gets the beer ;)
-
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?

anyone know what's been changed/fixed? The english release notes point to a dead knowlegebase article.
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:
