Service Pack for Visual Studio
Microsoft is planning to release a Service Pack for its 2002 and 2003 versions of the .Net Framework and Visual Studio suite in order to insure they will work properly with Windows XP Service Pack (SP) 2. But versions of the .Net Framework and Visual Studio suite that predate 2002 won't be upgraded... Microsoft will work to ensure that these tools continue to function correctly on XP SP2, however the tools may not benefit from enhanced XP SP2 security. Not good! :(
The service pack will include, in addition to the normal bug fixes, a number of new security-enhancing features, including additional memory protection, an updated firewall and better e-mail and browsing controls.
