Vista SP2 RTM

Vista Service Pack 2 was released to manufacturing today/yesterday. It's not a very big deal, as I said the OS doesn't desperately need it anymore ( as was the case before SP1).  It was on the way we all knew and it's the next step. It includes all updates released after SP1, some security fixes and a few compatibility issues that were addressed, and it will be  released to the general public in Q2 ( meaning May or June).

Here are some of the key benefits of Windows Vista SP2: ( taken directly of the Windows Team's Blog )

  • Windows Search 4.0 for faster and improved relevancy in searches
  • Bluetooth 2.1 Feature Pack supporting the most recent specification for Bluetooth Technology
  • Ability to record data on to Blu-Ray media natively in Windows Vista
  • Adds Windows Connect Now (WCN) to simplify Wi-Fi Configuration
  • Windows Vista SP2 enables the exFAT file system to support UTC timestamps, which allows correct file synchronization across time zones.
