I was just wondering if anyone knew as to when Microsoft is actually planning to release the promissed SP1 for Visual Studio 2003.
I have seen a lot of articles say that the RTM date is set for 6/1/2006 and I have been checking both the Subscriber downloads on MSDN subscription and anywhere else I could to see if it's released but to no avail.

Does anyone know anything about this?
Does anyone care about this SP?

My VS2003 crashes on me constantly when I try to attach to process in order to debug it and I have to re-load my solution all the time. Does anyone know of any fixes for this?

Thanks

Agreed, VS 2005 rocks but it too is in need of a service pack!

Agreed. Sometimes slow and unstable.

I don't disagree about VS2005 being better than 2003,
but the problem is that a lot of companies that have invested a lot
of time and resources on projects thare are still written in VS2003
are not switching until the next major version of their software which is where I am right now.

Go to http://connect.microsoft.com, sign in first, and go to Available Connections. On the list at the bottom, you should be able to apply for the VS2005 SP1 beta. Smiley

(You have to sign in otherwise you won't see the list I'm talking about)

I saw virtual server R2 SP1 beta .... did you see/sign up for the "Visual Studio" SP1? I knew they had this coming, but not sure if they are ready to do a beta release (no blog posts on this yet)

I'm already signed up for it in fact (I'm also in Virtual Server SP1 beta). Maybe they're not accepting applications anymore..

So the June deadline has passed. I wonder if the VS2003 was a joke or not.
If anyone has any information please post it here.

Thanks,

Ilya

When will VS 2005 Sp 1 come out? I know SQL Server 2005 already has Sp 1 out.

I am waiting patiently for Sp1 because from time to time I experiance performance problems with VS 2005.
