.Net Jonesie - The Honeymoon is Over

Sadly, I'm finding a few issues with Visual Studio 2005 and Team System.

The ToolStrip designer is less than stable. If a ToolStrip overflows to the drop down menu you can add new ToolStrip items but you cant move them or delete them.
The WebDev.WebServer STILL drops connections which makes it useless for debugging. I logged this as a bug a while ago. I also managed to speak to the chap in Redmond who wrote this (or is at least responsible for it) while I was there for the summit. Sorry, can't remember his name now, but he knew nothing of the issue then. It may be just an issue on our systems (I've seen it on 2 machines) or with our project. Has anyone else seen this problem?
Visual Studio locks up frequently. Actually, it's not dead, just not responding. The Task Manager shows about 50% cpu activity on devenv.exe but I have to kill the process. I'm not sure but I suspect this might be a Team System Source Control issue.
Help is very slow to load.
Visual Studio can be very slow to load.
I had an issue with a solution yestuday that wouldn't let me open the projects in it or re-add them. I had to create a new SLN and add the projects back in. I think Team System Source Control is/was caching an incorrect path so even though I had a proejct file in C:\SomePath and I selected the project to add, it would look in a different path (where the project once was).

All of these things are a little annoying but certainly not show stoppers. I'll research these a little more and then log bugs for whatever I can nail down.
