QUOTE(defaultname365 @ Dec 29 2008, 06:11 PM) i knew it... wait for the final release. my PC currently is for college and damn important stuff inside... i remember install Vista SP1 beta and all the Aero dissapeared... could not do anything about it... So I am not going to install Vista SP2 just yet... always wait for final release when it comes to Microsoft + Vista... always ! unless you have a lot of time and want to experiment Don't forget that even the official release of SP1 for Vista fu*ked up a few AMD-processor computers. |

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(fariz @ Dec 3 2008, 08:21 PM) Emerging Hardware Support
- SP2 contains Blue tooth 2.1 feature pack supporting the most recent specification for Blue tooth technology
- Adds Windows Connect Now (WCN) Wi-Fi Configuration to Windows Vista SP2,
- exFAT file system now supports UTC timestamps, which enables correct file synchronization across time zones.
Security
- SP2 includes all previously released security updates, and builds on the proven security benefits of Windows Vista
- Secure Development Lifecycle process updates, where we identify the root cause of each security bulletin and improve our internal tools to eliminate code patterns that could lead to future vulnerabilities
- Reliability
- SP2 addresses previously released reliability updates, as well as addressing crashes, caused by Microsoft code, discovered since the launch of SP1
Performance
- Resume performance when Wi-Fi connection is no longer available after resume from sleep
- Inclusion of Windows Search 4 for improved indexing performance, improved relevancy in search, broader indexing scenario inclusion, as well as new Group Policy integration for Windows Search,
Application Compatibility
- Previously released Application Compatibility updates are included in Windows Vista SP2.
Administration and Support Improvements
- Customers installing .net framework 3.5 service pack 1 will notice shorter download and installation times with Vista service pack 2 or Windows 2008 service pack 2 already installed,
- Service Pack Clean up tool (Compcln.exe): This tool helps restore the hard disk space by permanently deleting the previous versions of the files (RTM & SP1) that are being serviced by Service Pack 2.
- Single installer for both Vista & Server 2008
- Ability to detect an incompatible driver and block service pack installation or warn users of any loss of functionality
- Better error handling and providing more descriptive error messages where possible
- Better manageability through logging in system event log
- Componentization for Serviceability of the installer
Some Specific Fixes/Additions Include
- Windows Vista Feature Pack for Wireless
http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=1745I'm looking forward to all of the above not-deleted list.  Wireless support, like finally! I like the idea of compcln.exe  *spoilered* This post has been edited by eXPeri3nc3: Dec 30 2008, 12:51 PM |
