VS2005 SP1 Compatibility Issues with Vista

Microsoft announced the beta of Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 on Tuesday. However, S. Somasegar, Microsoft's corporate vice president of the Developer Division, has posted a warning about the possibility of compatibility issues with Vista. He also warns that Microsoft "will not support Visual Studio .NET 2002 or Visual Studio .NET 2003 as development environments on Windows Vista." Apparently the backward compatibility hassles in supporting VS.NET 2002/3 are too great.
