nice to see a SP1 in the works already, now where is VS 2005's SP1 at? ugh... that program is buggy as heck... makes it torture to code in sometimes...

Agreed. I think they should better manage the teams that build these projects. Have dedicated teams to dedicated projects and stop lending and borrowing people from other projects.
