If you dont have it installed by now, you really should. Its been 2+ years now.
Here is the list of fixes between versions of VS 2008

All service packs are worth installing without question. Hotfixes, not so, but service packs, definitely. That doesn't mean that a service pack won't introduce new bugs but they almost always include security fixes so they're worth installing for that alone.
How can I check if SP1 is installed?
Hey,
Go to Help | About Microsoft Visual Studio.
Check the version number at the top left.
If it is 9.0.21022.8, then Service Pack 1 is not installed, if it is installed, the version number will be 9.0.30729.1.
Hope that helps!!
