XNA Studio Express supported by Vista with Visual Studio updates

Microsoft confirmed that its XNA Game Studio Express development tool, which lets users create Windows and Xbox video games, will be supported by the upcoming Windows Vista operating system.

However, according XNA Game Studio program manager Michael Klucher, users will have to install both the Visual Studio 2005 SP1 and the Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Update for Windows Vista to be able to use the software. The SP1 is currently in Beta and the SP1 Vista Update is under development, Klucher wrote in his blog.
