Microsoft have released Service Pack 1 for their Visual Studio family of products.
The biggest update is the Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite SP1 which is the update you would want to download and install if you are using any edition of Visual Studio 2005 except the Express editions. Express has their own downloads.
Team Foundation Server SP1 has been updated as well, so if you're organization is running a TFS you should make sure to get this update. Important bug and performance fixes is included, and it should work better with my Automaton Continuous Integration engine.
Note: If you have installed the Web Application Project update for Visual Studio 2005, you have to uninstall this before you can apply the Visual Studio SP1. This is because the SP1 includes this Web Application Project update.
Windows Vista: While Visual Studio 2005 runs on Windows Vista, it's not working flawlessly. On the download link below you will see the SP1 Update for Windows Vista Beta, but it's not available yet. It will be released soon.
