VS 2008 and .Net 3.5 SP1 Beta

by Brian Brewder May 12, 2008 20:29

If you haven't heard the news yet, Microsoft has released a beta of a service pack (SP1) for Visual Studio 2008 and .Net 3.5. I'm not planning on installing the beta any time soon, but I am looking forward to this SP. It looks like it will have some performance improvements, especially for launching .Net WinForm applications (Scott claims up to 40% improvement in startup time) as well as a new installation package for those that don't want the full .Net install.

If you want to read more about this release, check out these articles (ScottGu's Blog seems to have the most complete description of the features as well as plenty of links out for more information)...
