Vista SP2 RC goes public

A new service pack release candidate for Vista fixes bugs and supports news standards. Woo.

Microsoft has made its nearly-finished version of Vista Service Pack 2 available for public download.

The Vole said SP2 is an update to Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 that addresses feedback from its customers and friends.

It addresses some 'reliability and performance issues' and adds support for several emerging standards.
Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 is included.

Go here to have a fiddle, unless you really need your computer for something useful, Microsoft warns.

Has anyone actually tried the service pack 2 yet? Is worth giving it a go or wait a while longer?

So far the patch is 1.35gb. Better be worth it.
