For those of you who have testicles of steel a recent backup of their Vista comptuer, Windows Vista SP2 has hit Microsoft’s download servers. So if you’ve got Vista SP1 installed (as it’s required for SP2 to install), here’s the links:
32-bit Version
64-bit Version
Since I have a current backup of my Vista VM, I’ll download this now and I’ll have some thoughts later (hopefully).
Oh yeah, I’ll say it again. Don’t install this unless you have a current backup of your system. If things go bonkers, you’ll thank me.
UPDATE: Not showing in Windows Update for me, and this article explains that that’s by design. I’ll download the service pack using the links above. Oh, release notes are available here.
UPDATE #2: It took just over an hour and a couple of reboots, but it’s installed. I’ll start poking around and see what I notice about this update.
