New/updated Icon Sets with Visual Studio 2005

New/updated Icon Sets with Visual Studio 2005

The collection of image resources from various Microsoft products has accumulated over time, and we've heard clearly from our customers that the old outdated elements are essentially unusable and what they need is a library of updated, current images for use in their new applications!

In the RTM version, we will additionally extend the library to include web format (.gif) for our users who would appreciate a smaller size for their web applications.
