From the little time I had to view context menus before VS 2005 crashed, I did not see options such as Compare or History. It seems that we are going to need to rely on the Vault GUI (client) more now that we cannot get information on specific files like we could with the legacy integration.
Where do we set SCC options? I see the need for a Vault (or SourceGear) menu in VS 2005. How do I set options such as:
-Get All (latest) when the solution is opened
-Silent Checkout/Check-In
-Not require check-in comments
-Exclusive options
-Options on Edit, such as auto-checkout
As the Vault Admin is now a web interface, there is no reason we cannot access this directly inside VS.NET as we can show web pages inside VS.NET's IDE. It would help to be able to go to Vault...Admin. You already know the Vault URL from my SLN/Project files, you should know the Admin URL from this.
VS.NET 2005 integration seems 1) to be inferior to the legacy integration, and 2) room for drastic improvement for Vault client tasks that we had before in addition to options directly from a project for labeling, etc.
VS 2005 Integration - Features Lacking?

Options for VS 2005 source control (and previous version) are set under Tools --> Options --> + Source Control --> Environment. They're driven by VS (not vault) so are set there by the IDE. The IDE merely calls out to whichever plugin you have selected to perform its actions.
Actions themselves become available from within your project/solution explorer by right clicking the files or folders and selecting the appropriate action. Obviously, these actions aren't available until the project has been bound to source control through the IDE.

There is no Environment node when using the VS 2005 SCC client. I didn't see the Options before, it may have not been working in a prior build I was using. Now I do see the options, but some are not there such as Check-In on Exit which I am used to having so all my files are checked in.
Hopefully SG will continue to integrate with VS to register when the solution is closing and offer all of the functionality we had previously.
