WSS v3 : Visual Studio 2005 Extensions released

Good news for us developers, version 1.0 of the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Tools: Visual Studio 2005 Extensions is now released! Grab your copy from the Microsoft site.

Things that bother me though are the system requirements :

System Requirements

• Supported Operating Systems: Windows Server 2003

• Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (Basic installation only), or any product built on Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, such as Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
• Visual Studio 2005 (Standard Edition, Professional Edition, or Team System)

It's kinda odd isn't it? The CTP ran perfectly without needing Sharepoint and Win2k3 on my laptop.
