This is great news, but it looks like improving the VS2005 experience in Vista has been deferred to an SP1 Update next year, if I understand correctly? That's too bad - as a lot of us are running VS2005 under Vista now with mixed results.Anonymous

That's too bad - as a lot of us are running VS2005 under Vista now with mixed results." According to the announcement the beta for Vista is out: "The Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Update for Windows Vista is expected to ship after the consumer availability of Windows Vista in Q1 of 2007 and is now available in beta." Is it? Have you tried it? I'm only on Vista at home.Anonymous
