.NET Framework 2.0 & VS 2005 OS requirements

Recent release of Visual Studio Beta 2, there has been some questions around the pre-requisites for the installation of the same.

.NET Framework 2.0 will require either of the following:

Windows 2000 Service Pack 4
Windows XP Service Pack 2
Windows 2003 Server Gold
Windows 98 Gold, 98 Second Edition, Millennium

Visual Studio 2005 will require either of the following:

Windows 2000 Service Pack 4

The biggest change from .NET Framework 2.0 beta 1 is the requirement for Windows XP Service Pack 2.
