From ScottGu's Blog:
"Earlier today we shipped a public beta of our upcoming .NET 3.5 SP1 and VS 2008 SP1 releases. These servicing updates provide a roll-up fixes and performance improvements for issues reported since we released the products last November. They also contain a number of feature additions and enhancements that make building .NET applications better.
We plan to ship the final release of both .NET 3.5 SP1 and VS 2008 SP1 this summer as free updates."
You can find Installation Notes and a description of the new improvements here. Information from the Visual Web Developer Team is posted here. Brad Adams (founding member of both, the Common Language Runtime, and .NET Framework) writing about Service Pack 1 Beta here. Finally, .NET Rocks!, the Internet audio talk show for .NET developers has a 72 minutes podcast with Brad Adams and Omar Khan right here.
