The Redmond, Wash., software giant released the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 SP1 (Service Pack 1) Update for Windows Vista yesterday. With this release, developers can enjoy an enhanced user experience in building applications on Windows Vista.

According to Roxe, this new Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista adds a few features that will enable developers to create applications that take better advantage of the Vista operating system.

“It has new features like User Account Control, which prompts end-users when an application performs an action that requires administrative privileges. From a developer’s point of view, it not only helps prevent malware from gaining control of a user’s PC, but also gives users more direct control over how their PCs are being used.”

The new updated release can be found at Microsoft Download Center.
