VS2008 and .Net 3.5 SP1 Beta - Install complete

I just installed VS2008 and .Net 3.5 SP1 Beta without any issues.  The first thing that I installed was Expression Blend 2.5 March 2008 Preview. I already had Blend 2 December Preview installed so I also removed that.   Next I installed .Net 3.5 SP1.  Then I installed VS2008, this did take a while.  Next I uninstalled both installs of ADO.Net Entity Frameworks and ASP.Net 3.5 Extensions CTP.  Lastly I installed the ASP.Net MVC 2 preview.  This was not included in the new VS2008

Install of Expression Blend 2.5 March

Install of VS 2008

Uninstall of ADO.Net Entity Frameworks

Uninstall of ASP.Net 3.5 Extensions CTP
