VOLES ARE PLEASED to announce that Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 have advanced to Release Candidate (RC) status.
A blog post confirms that TechNet and MSDN subscribers have got their mitts on the software to test prior to final release.
Anyone else who wants a fiddle will be able to do so "In the very near future". The company says it will be making the RC broadly available for anyone to download and test. We'll keep you posted when that happens.
SP2 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 will be released in the second quarter of 2009, the Volish bogger bogged. µ

Vista SP2 - The fun new name for Windows 7.
Ok, how big is it going to be?? If it is big enough, it could well be Windows 7 or at least proto-Windows 7.
What do you mean?
"SP2 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 will be released in the second quarter of 2009, the Volish bogger bogged."

SP2 will contain changes focused on addressing reliability and performance issues, supporting new kinds of hardware, and adding support for several emerging standards. SP2 will also continue to make it easier for IT administrators to deploy and manage large installations of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
Windows6.0-KB948465-X86.exe =388.3MB for 32Bit
Windows6.0-KB948465-X64.exe =614.4MB for 64Bit
Hopefully this SP will address why it takes 2 damn minutes to print a single page from my quickbooks through a network printer...... it is painfully slow, where as Winxp and Win7 print almost instantly!
I just sit here a wonder wtf Vista is doing while I sit here and wait!
I often think of writing Microsoft a nasty letter about how shitty Vista is..... but I figure they already know! LOL
"What do you mean? "SP2 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 will be released in the second quarter of 2009, the Volish bogger bogged." Second quarter? You mean second HALF of 2009? "

You mean there are actually large installations of Vista? I thought that was why they're rushing Windows 7.... To get sales going.
