A concise follow-up to points made by , and , with practical detail and a short buying checklist.

RTM (Release To Manufacturing) is the original shipped build; Service Pack 1 (SP1) is a cumulative update that fixes bugs and improves reliability. Microsoft’s SP1 notes and installer are the authoritative reference for what changed: .

Visual Studio 2005 Team System is an application‑lifecycle suite rather than just a “bigger” IDE. It pairs role‑based clients (Developer, Tester, Architect or the all‑in‑one Team Suite) with Team Foundation Server (TFS) for centralized source control, work‑item tracking, automated builds and reporting. That ALM focus is why enterprises pick Team System; the overview is summarized here: Visual Studio Team System.

Practical guidance (modern context in mind): for an individual or small project, Visual Studio Professional—or the free Express editions available back then—covers most needs. For team scenarios that require integrated source control, bug tracking and automated builds, Team System plus TFS makes sense despite higher cost. Given the age of this thread, later releases and the current free Community edition provide better long‑term support and features; see Visual Studio Community.

Quick checklist before buying:

  • Define required features: role‑based ALM (TFS) vs. single‑developer tooling.
  • Prefer a build that already includes SP1 or plan to install SP1 after RTM.
  • Back up source and test project conversion if migrating to a newer VS version.

VS 2005 .NET is the current version of Microsoft's IDE. VS 2005 Team Edition probably has a few additional tools for working in groups. The SP1 is just an update that's been released (both of them have an SP1, since they're basically the same). As to which is better, it depends on if you're working with a large group; I doubt you are, so you don't need Team Edition.

Team edition is usually more. You dont need it unless you want to collaborate with other coders on big projects.
