Visual Studio .NET 2003 SP1 scheduled for release this summer
By: Leslie Giblett VC++ Box Program Manager
Introduction
Microsoft is committed to making customers successful with Visual Studio
and the .NET Framework. As part of this continuing effort, we are now
announcing our target date to release the Visual Studio .NET 2003
Service Pack 1 (SP1) Beta this month, (March, 2006) and we also have an
estimated RTM release targeted for June 2006.
At Microsoft, our Service Packs are broadly defined as a cumulative set
of all Hotfixes, security updates, critical and other updates, as well
as additional fixes for problems found by Microsoft testers since the
release of the product. Service packs may also contain a limited number
of customer-requested design changes to features.
The following is a brief overview of our upcoming VS .NET 2003 SP1.
This release is being managed by the Developer Division Customer
Prod-Lifecycle team, and all of us on the VCPU team are excited about
getting this release into the hands of our VS .NET customers. We look
forward to reading your discussions in the Newsgroups. And, if you have
any questions, please feel free to contact:
Aymans@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Lesliegi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Leecow@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Summary
Visual Studio .NET 2003 shipped in July of 2003. This upcoming Service
Pack will serve to roll up selected fixes that were issued after that
release and before Whidbey. We have also included some triaged critical
fixes and fixes included in VS .NET 2002 SP1. We anticipate that
Customers will gain additional environment stability through the
inclusion of these roll ups and the select set of critical fixes. We
hope that VS 2002 customers may see this Service Pack as an additional
stabilizing factor and proceed with plans migrating to the VS 2003.

special license. Patch, Update, Software Update, Quick Fix Engineering

Visual Studio .NET 2003 SP1 will provide the following fixes:
1. Hotfix and other critical update roll up
2. Released security patches/issues and other identified security fixes
that satisfy triage criteria.
3. The top 50% Watson issues across the entire product.
4. Customer driven bugs - Bugs will come from 2 sources, Watson data
analyzed by the product teams and PSS.
(Watson defined: Microsoft Online Crash Analysis (MOCA aka Watson)
enables Visual Studio and the .NET Framework customers to communicate
information about the cause of a software failure back to Microsoft.
Service Packs will include fixes for the top MOCA issues, representing a
significant portion of all reported application crashes)
(PSS defined: Product Support Services Customer calls to PSS are the
primary motivator for Visual Studio and .NET Framework Hotfixes. PSS
works closely with the Microsoft Developer Division product units (e.g.
the Visual C# team) and the servicing team to answer customer questions,
and investigate and resolve their product problems. When a product
defect is identified and confirmed, according to the urgency, severity
and priority of the issue, Microsoft works hand-in-hand with customer to
develop, test and release a fix (software update) for them.)
Target Operating Systems
Windows 2000 Pro, Server and Advanced Server
Windows XP Home and Professional
Windows Server 2003 family
Vista

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
