I understand the issues,

Please If we can get more info on what it can/can't do etc...

for example can we setup a "reboot" / "runOnce" to do that perhaps?

I'm not entirely sure, let me check and get back to you. Around here we do distribute admin-level software using SMS to machines that are locked-down so I know it's possible but I don't know how it works!

is it safe to install VS 2008 SP1 Beta on a development machine? I mean we all know Visual Studio is a very heavy piece of software, I don't want to remove the whole thing just to remove SP1

I'd be a little carefull with any beta software and I know some folks have had issues uninstalling. For me, it's worked just fine so it might for you too but I always recommend a VPC, or a complete backup just in case!

i have one question though, where exactly do you post feedback? the msdn forums are vast and im always feeling im posting in the wrong place is there a prefered place there? or is connect the way to go? i havent found a connect project for .net or wpf as a whole (if there is one please link )

General feedback here is just fine. For more specific feedback on VS you can use http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=2136&SiteID=1 or for WPF specifically just use the regular WPF forum http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=119&SiteID=1 and maybe put "SP1" somewhere in the title.

For connect, we come under the general "Visual Studio and .Net Framework" at http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio

Thanks,

Ian.

I would suggest a better describing name.

Why don't you call a ServicePack 'SP<number>' (SP1) and a feature pack 'FP<number>' (FP1) and when combined 'UP<number>' (UP1) where UP stands for update pack.[A]

We use this system for a while now and it's (for us...) quite clear.

I can understand improving performace in a service pack, but why add new features to a service pack? Why koxp not release them in a feature pack, like how the ASP.NET team did with the ASP.NET AJAX Extensions v1.0?
