I recently came across two hotfixes for Visual Studio 2008 SP1 that alleviate some of the more annoying issues I have seen in the IDE.

The first is a fix for Visual Studio crashing to the desktop when certain XAML files are opened in the Designer. Karl Shifflett blogged about the hotfix for this here.

The second is a fix for Visual Studio hanging while building, debugging, or after closing an application that was being debugged. The hotfix can be downloaded here.

I hope these help some of you who may have been struggling with these issues. I know it made life easier for our developers.
