As I understand it, VS.NET 2005 + SP1 + this patch is the first version of
VS.NET on Vista to be officially supported by Microsoft...

You can install it if you like. However, it is not supported by Microsoft,
and never will be...

That doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, though you might like to
consider *why* Microsoft won't support it...

Thanks Mark! This is exactly what I've been waiting for as I'm about to
install Vista for development today!

Thanks again!

Thanks Mark! This is exactly what I've been waiting for

Me too!

My hardware supplier has just taken delivery of a new batch of Vista-ready
motherboards which support 64-bit dual core CPUs and 8Gb RAM, so this is
going to be a bit of an expensive month...
