I've noticed that Visual Studio 2010 with sp1 installed seems quite fragile. It crashes regularly for me. I normally have a huge number of different tools installed and used to have no problems. I've not sat down and tried to troubleshoot what's causing it but it just "feels" like sp1. I could be totally wrong. It might be due to some other tool thats been updated recently. That said one of the other guys here thinks the same and he has almost no tools installed.
One example of crashes I get regular, if I do a get latest (using TFS) and it needs to reload a project due to a change, more often than not it crashes Visual Studio. Thats my home machine which I've rebuilt a few days ago. Will be interesting to see how a clean paved machine behaves. Feeling like a delicately balanced house of cards.
