I have been having a little play and it doesnt seem that much different to Vista.........

Am I missing something?]]>Dec 1st 2008 7:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/Well Windows 7 is Vista in disguise.. just a bit of tweaking and different name for people scared of Vista..]]>Dec 1st 2008 7:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/Dec 1st 2008 7:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/
Also, seeing MS's history with OS releases, I personally won't be upgrading anytime soon. The Vista launch was bad, but so was the XP launch if you remember correctly...and the ME launch...and the 98 launch...do I need to keep going?]]>Dec 1st 2008 7:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/

As for anyone who compares performance - not footprint or kernel - between a pre-beta and a released product, well they really need to swallow the business end of a shotgun. I mean seriously, that's just stupid.]]>Dec 1st 2008 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/

I'm not surprised if their source is credible. Most of their info have been on the dot.

The current Vista SP2 beta's are stable... there are a few hiccups but nothing of real interest. Basically, Vista SP2 is like XP SP3... "a roll up of all previous patches with a few little improvements here and there"

There are no DRAMATIC improvements/changes - service packs are NOT about major changes, just ease of 'patching' IMHO.

UAC will be slightly better but it will be nothing like Win7's UAC! because this would require all of the Win7 code and thats just not going to happen.]]>Dec 1st 2008 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/Dec 1st 2008 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/
At the risk of being downranked, GET OVER IT!!!!! As hardware and software evolve, the requirements will get larger and larger. If you want progress, you have to change. Or just switch to Linux or Mac and quit flaming...your choice.]]>Dec 1st 2008 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/Dec 1st 2008 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/Dec 1st 2008 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/Dec 1st 2008 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/windows-vista-sp2-set-for-april-launch-to-manufacturers/
