It's not on TechNet download page yet, *sigh* It's either SP2 beta or RC only...

SP2 includes ability to record data to Blu-Ray Disc media

wow.. this is quite unexpectedly

but still, Vista already giving the impression of bloatware, no matter SP1 or SP2, bloat is still bloat, comparing the bootup time of Win7 and Vista is always a big difference. The number of threads running in Win7 is even lower than Vista Home Premium.

SP2 is perhaps the reason for existing genuine Vista users to stay with Vista for a little while, existing XP community would have to migrate to 7

Remember, Win 7 still only at BETA stage and we still don't know until RTM version come out... Don't direct compare it with Win Vista..
As i'm a Vista user,don't feel the bloated like u said... As long as your pc spec is good, then no bad comment should give to Win Vista...

If you want to believe it or not, Windows 7 is still a bloat. It's still 2.4+gb for 32-bit and 3.2+gb for 64-bit, it just install lesser stuff. Btw, what does bloat have to do with bootup time?

I believe the bloated version was the 2006 version, as i dont have any problem using Vista since last year. No more BSOD like XP
