Visual Studio 2005 SP1 includes AJAX?

[Smokey Grindel]

I've read about 3 blogs now that says VS2005 SP1 includes the AJAX framework
in the update, yet I don't see it anywhere... is it actually included in the
Service Pack or do I still need to install the add on? thanks!

The release notes for VS SP1 don't mention Ajax:

It would be highly unusual for MS to introduce new features in a Service Pack.

I didn't find it anywhere. I would really doubt they'd include it in the
service pack since it's still a release candidate.

that's what they said about windows service packs also.. then came XP SP2
anyways didnt think it would be in there either, was just confused how the
blogers out there thought it was..

Which new features were introduced in XP SP2 ?

I must confess I'm not an expert on Windows XP,
but I thought that *existing* behavior was modified,
and not that new features were introduced by XP's SP2.

It's a semantic argument. They added DEP and Popup Blockers, for instance.
It could be argued that both of these are just enhancements to existing
functions, but they're also new features.

they also added Wireless configuration managment and a few other things

MS has had a history of adding completely new features in Windows Service
Packs. XP SP2 also added the Windows Firewall and Security Centers.

Weren't those *existing* features ?
What was added was a way to manage them, wasn't it ?

No argument from me on that.
