Windows Vista SP2 screenshot newzhunter Oct 23rd, 08, 11:00 PM #1 (permalink)


For the weekend there were referring to the beginning of the test phase for the Windows Vista Service Pack 2, now is present us the confirmation. In addition, as usual Microsoft with the update collection error wants to eliminate, re-tools innovations.

Passed on screen SHOT shows us allegedly one first, if not the first Build of the Windows Vista Service Pack 2, which was delivered recently to a small group of select testers. The testers are all together participants Microsoft of the Technology Adopters Program (TAP), with which important partners of the software company are merged already early into the development.

The up-to-date delivered Build carries the stringer 6002.16489.lh_sp2beta.080924-1740 and the version additive v.105. This early Vorabversion was provided therefore on 24 September, is thus already nearly one month old.

Which the innovations in Windows Vista Service Pack 2 turns on, it gives like already reported for the time being only changes under the surface. Microsoft announced that one wants to integrate among other things support for Bluetooth 2,1, a new printer Spooler/server, Windows search 4,0 as well as the conditions for the use of VIAs new 64-Bit-Prozessor “nano”.

Don't really care about service pack anymore, I have been so disappointed with vista that i already downgraded to win xp.

The reason for my downgrade was that it cannot fully backward compatible with lots of software that i am using; and best of all crashes with softwares that are deemed vista compatible. It might be the fault of that software developer, but this also shows that Vista is too 'smart' for most of us people.

Vista most probably will EOL soon as Window 7 is coming either this dec or next yr. Not really surprised by it's short product life compare to other OS. Hope Window 7 won't EOL in 7 months.

I am using win xp sp3 happily now~

I think compatibility has been a major prob for Vista, on top of the sluggish performance. Hopefully, SP2 will address these 2 issues, tho I am quite skeptical. Most likely they will just add more security patches to it. Guess it will still be XP Pro and OS X for me for now.
