Today I had to reinstall. I used to have some hotfixes installed for VS2008 but no longer have them and can't remember why they were necessary. I'm expecting any security-related hotfixes to come through Microsoft Update, but I'm interested in VS bug fixes.

Does anyone have a list of hotfixes that they recommend installing for Visual Studio 2008 SP1?

You can find them all here:

Look for the ones with a "FIX" prefix.

Update: This is another good source of information about VS2008 updates. http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Project/ProjectDirectory.aspx?TagName=Visual%20Studio%202008&ProjectSearchText=Hotfix
