Windows Vista introduces a breakthrough user experience and is designed to help you feel confident in your ability to view, find, and organize information and to control your computing experience. The visual sophistication of Windows Vista helps streamline your computing experience by refining common window elements so you can better focus on the content on the screen rather than on how to access it. The desktop experience is more informative, intuitive, and helpful. And new tools bring better clarity to the information on your computer, so you can see what your files contain without opening them, find applications and files instantly, navigate efficiently among open windows, and use wizards and dialog boxes more confidently.

Service Pack 2 for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista (SP2) is an update to Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 that supports new kinds of hardware and emerging hardware standards, and includes all updates delivered since SP1. SP2 simplifies administration by enabling IT administrators to deploy and support a single service pack for clients and servers.

SP2 is an update to Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista that incorporates improvements discovered through automated feedback, as well as updates that have been delivered since SP1. By providing these fixes integrated into a single service pack for both client and server, Microsoft provides a single high-quality update that minimizes deployment and testing complexity for customers.

Service Pack 1 is a prerequisite for installing Service Pack 2. Please make sure that your system is running Service Pack 1 before you install Service Pack 2.

Note: Windows Server 2008 released with Service Pack 1 included. Windows Vista SP1 information and downloads can be found on the Windows Vista SP1 TechNet page.

NOT touching this till atleast 10 million people have used it for a week. Too big a risk when Microsoft is involved.
 
I installed it over windows update .. didn't care to download the stand alone package .. win 7 all the way when it's released! Anyway, I haven't faced compatibility problems so far and windows *feels* more responsive fwiw.

There should be no problems with sp2 even the beta build ran fine. Also the msdn users got sp2 well in advance so kinks if any would have been fixed by now.
 
i installed it yesterday evening via windows update. my update was pretty small considering my windows was updated will all the updates released prior to the sp2. haven't really noticed any change as of now.
 
i got a windows vista nvidia gamer(2009) 30 days trial version from net...it is a modified version by rockers team....i really liked it....but is it safe to use a modified version of vista for surfing and downloading???
