Service Pack 1 of the development platform also includes more than 70 improvements for common development scenarios, including new processor support for code generation and profiling, as well as performance and scale improvements in Microsoft’s TFS (Team Foundation Server).

Other improvements include TFS integration with Excel 2007 and Project 2007, tool support for occasionally connected devices and SQL Server Mobile Edition, additional support for project file-based Web applications, Windows Embedded 6.0 platform and tools support, and increased MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class) class support for device developers. The improvements also enable ClickOnce deployment to work with devices.”
