I really hope there will be more performance improvements in their SP2. Windows Vista isn't that bad after all but many people in my opinion won't use Windows Vista is probably the performance issue.

Based on what is written here, there are no performance improvements: Notable Changes in Vista SP2 This SP seems to focus on support for new hardware and technologies plus adding more compatiblity and so on.

Don't forget that every new service pack released contains cumulative updates over past service pack, so it definitely have performance improvements even though it's not listed in the TechNet page...

I doubt so, as Windows 7 has been released has been in public BETA. Most of the bugs should've been iron-ed out.

It's not the case for this SP

QUOTE

Is a cumulative version of SP2 that includes the updates from SP1 available?
No. There are a number of reasons for this, the primary one being the overall size of the standalone package for SP1. Having a cumulative SP2 that includes the updates from SP1 would have made the size too large. Furthermore, because SP2 is a single-servicing model, and since Windows Server already includes SP1, a cumulative SP2 would have meant a needlessly larger file for Server customers. Finally, in the consumer space the majority of customers have already installed SP1 over WU or will be doing so before SP2, so incorporating SP1 into a cumulative SP2 would take unnecessary time and bandwidth.

Is Vista SP1 quality not sufficient, requiring that you do another Service Pack so soon after releasing Service Pack 1?
Automated feedback (telemetry) provided by Microsoft’s Customer Experience Improvement program since launching Service Pack 1, indicates that Service Pack 1 is equal to or higher than nearly all dimensions of Windows XP Service Pack 2 baselines. Based on this data we believe we have delivered on our promise of improved performance, reliability, application and device compatibility, as well as security in Service Pack 1. Service Pack 2 is being developed primarily with Windows Server 2008 in mind, and will be the first service pack for Server 2008 since it launched. Service Pack 2, designed for install on Server 2008 and Windows Vista Service Pack 1, represents a single serviceability model we are adopting for these two products, making it easier to manage and deploy this service pack broadly in business networks. SP2 also rolls up all previous Windows Updates to create a more convenient updating experience for customers with new PCs.

Now, you get this wrong. Read my previous post carefully. I said new service pack released contains cumulative updates over past service pack, not including past service pack. In easy English, that means, all updates after SP1 is included in SP2, now, do you understand?

The RC2 has been released, however, I don't feel a difference as I feel SP1 is great already.

Agree with you especially since SP1 made Vista improve tremendously in terms of performance (IMHO).

Perhaps no performance boost can be felt if your system is a decent one.

I'm referring to my BETA PC which is Intel P4 3.2GHz, 2X 2GB DDR400MHz RAM, ASUS P4P800-SE-Deluxe, ASUS ATi Radeon 9800XT 256MB (AGP).

I hope they correct some small hiccups here and there for Windows Vista. But I didn't expect SP2 to come out so late though, I thought it would be out in June or something lol.
