Windows Vista Service Pack 2's Latest Release Schedule
...
We have news of the upcoming Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista! Microsoft is doing their best to rush out Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista so there will be additional incentive for folks to upgrade to Window Vista now, instead of waiting for Windows 7.
Incidentally, this service pack also applies to Windows Server 2008. It upgrades Windows Server 2008 to Release 2. You can get more information on Windows Server 2008 R2 in the links below

Re: [Info] Windows Vista Service Pack 2's Latest Release Sched Yes that is quite amusing, where did you find the statement? It sure sounds like something MS would issue.

The download size should be dynamic at that point and it will only download the specific components you need. (Unless this behavior has been changed from XP to Vista?) |

Download size doesn't bother me. Starting with Windows XP, and now Vista, I have always downloaded the Service packs manually and didn't wait for Windows update.
Thanks.

FWIW, SP2 was offered to me as an update this morning. 337.9MB - 343.9MB, not that much difference in size to the standalone version. |

Seriously, it's been working fine on my laptop for a few days and several other forum members have reported no trouble over several weeks of usage. |
