Visual Studio 2006 is available

I've just downloaded Visual Studio 2006 err.. Visual Studio 2005's first service pack. Well, it's a 431MB download... Not bad for a patch.

Several issues have been fixed, of course, but new features also have been integrated such as the support for Web Application projects.

The service pack is available in multiple editions, depending on the version of Visual Studio 2005 you are using: 

Update: You should make sure you have some time available for the installation. Here, it took more than one hour and a half with 99% of the CPU occupied all the time!

Indeed not that much visible changes, but the IDE got more stable and Intellisense faster... but > 400 MB for that?

I didn't notice speed improvements, the bugs I had are not fixed and some appeared. Globally it's not really worth it :-(

Either way - good post, thanks for the link and info!
