SP2 RC is awesome...NOT. Since I installed it I've noticed my external is getting raped! Whenever I go to grab something or run something from the external it feels like I have Vista, Norton, and Spysweeper running at the sametime with 512MB of ram cause it just takes forever to run or wait for the folder to open up. I tested the HD and it passes DLGDiag 5.04 and this is a SATAII enclosure using the SATA cable.

Yeah, my whole install was taken out by SP2 as well. I'd uninstalled a previous version but it never recovered.

However, after a fresh install and a copy of the latest SP2 build (16670) I must say I'm impressed. Really stable, games play excellently. Not had a single crash or problem yet.

You had to do a fresh install after SP2 (just like me too) and you still dared to install SP2 on that new install? Brave man, I won't touch SP2 with a fifty foot pole until it's stable.

I don't use final releases if I can help it. I've been beta testing for a good number of years now and I've found that with most Microsoft releases there betas are actually more stable than their final releases

So years later, turns out that Vista totally sucked.
Service Pack 2 was the last service pack for it to be released and support was minimal after that.
Windows 7 was, what Vista should have been.
