Re: [Info] Vista SP2 and Server 2008 SP2 Released
I was one of the first to install it (a full Vista with SP2 install), and after 3 weeks or so, it's running like a top with not a single issue so far... I'd rercommend that all Vista users grab this and install ASAP.
Everything seems "snappier" too, although that may just be my imagination.  |

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.

Haha yep I usually just install Service packs for security and general bug fixes right away. I was just being extra cautious because its going on my travel laptop and it will be my main computer for the summer.
Anyway no problems on install and no problems with anything else so far... |

All downloaded and installed here Installed smoothly and is running fine. Took about 10 minutes to fully install it and reboot my machine twice after spending a good 10 minutes to download it.

Hmm, I am just curious.
Would it be okay for me to install this SP2 five-languages version when I currently have the all-36-languages version of SP1 installed? I am afraid I might run into issues.
