How can I tell if SP1 has been installed on VS2008? e.g. If I'm working on a co-worker's machine - how can I tell if he/she has installed SP1 for VS2008?

A:
In Help->About, you can view the installed products. You should see something similar to
Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Suite - ENU Service Pack 1 (KB945140) KB945140
in the list of entries.

It also puts a little '9' in a white box on the program icon. (Probably not dependable, of course)

That indicates that it's VS2008, but it may or may not be SP1

This may be because I installed RTM over Beta 2, but I only got the 9 in SP1

You may also be able to tell by looking in the registry here
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DevDiv[ProductFamily]\Servicing\9.0\
then finding a property named something like "SP" or "SPIndex". A value of 1 means installed, and 0 means not installed.

Open Visual Studio 2008 and click Help>About. If you do have MS VS SP1 installed, the upper left corner should look like this:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 version 9.0.30729.1 SP
The upper right corner states what version of Microsoft .NET Framework you have and may show that it has SP 1 installed, but this DOES NOT mean you have Visual Studio SP 1 installed.
