Title: Service Pack 2 for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista
Post by: GR@PH;<'S on May 28, 2009, 10:53:43 AM
Microsoft has released :
Service Pack 2 for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dd262148.aspx)

SP2 is an update to Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. It provides customer and partner feedback-driven fixes into a single service pack, minimizing deployment and testing complexity. In addition to all previously released updates since SP1, SP2 supports new types of hardware, and adds support for several emerging standards.


(WARNNING for anybody thinking of updating to SP2 as it  automatically reboots the machine without any warning.)

Thanks Zep516, but I think will pass for awhile.  I am a little gun shy on down loading service packs right away.

Let us know if you find any problems.
