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
...
Update @ May 24, 2009 : We updated the editorial and the release schedule with the confirmed RTM and RTW dates and details.
...
Updated! Latest Release Schedule
Microsoft has finalized Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. The final build has a version string of 6.0.6002.18.005, and has been released to manufacturing (RTM).
As always, do remember that when Microsoft announces that a product is RTM, it doesn't mean you will be able to download it right away. RTM merely means it is "released to manufacturing", including OEMs. Actual public release or Release to web (RTW) will occur about a month after RTM..

| Re: [Info] Vista SP2 and Server 2008 SP2 Released If you sit down and watch the 'downloading' process via WU you'll notice it isn't actually downloading very much even though it says it's downloading around 350MB. Mine appeared to downloading only in the realm of 100MB or so, and spent the rest of the time just verifying that the prior updates were in place.

Everything seems "snappier" too, although that may just be my imagination. | |

I'm thinking of installing SP2 through WU tonight. Can you tell if it auto installs IE8 or can I still keep IE7 on my system? I would prefer not "upgrading" to IE8 at this time.
TIA!

Installed SP2 first, then installed IE8 and both work fine on the Dell Inspiron laptop. IE8 is not included in SP2, though, just updates to Vista's IE7.
So far only the 5 language standalone downloads of SP2 are available to the public at the Microsoft Download Center. The links to the "all language" standalone SP2 downloads are broken because Microsoft has not yet posted the "all language" standalone downloads of SP2. Those I think will be available sometime in June. | |
