The much awaited Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 is now RTM !! While we have talked about the .NET 3.5 SP1 features for a long time now, the RTM release marks something special for Web Developers. You would be able to build and deploy real world applications and use some of the cool features like Dynamic Data.
Before installing Visual Studio 2008 SP1, it is recommended to run the Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack Preparation Tool. The tool can be downloaded from here This tool removes any earlier versions of the SP1 Beta and also prepares your system for installing the SP1.
What do I get installing this? Well, a whole bunch of stuff considering that this is just a Service Pack. Instead of me listing it down, there is a cool post by the Web Development Tools team that lists them over here
