Microsoft RTM of Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 Announced

malware · Apr 29, 2009

Microsoft has announced the Release to Manufacturing (RTM) of Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. Except applying all updates released to date, this issue of SP will bring some key features to both operating systems. Those are:

Windows Search 4.0 for faster and improved relevancy in searches
Bluetooth 2.1 Feature Pack supporting the most recent specification for Bluetooth Technology
Ability to record data on to Blu-Ray media natively in Windows Vista
Adds Windows Connect Now (WCN) to simplify Wi-Fi Configuration
Windows Vista SP2 enables the exFAT file system to support UTC timestamps, which allows correct file synchronization across time zones.

A single installer of SP2 will be supplied by Microsoft, and it will work with both Windows Vista and Server 2008. For a complete overview of the changes introduced in SP2 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, check TechNet. As usual, a final date hasn't been set. At present, the final SP2 release for Vista and Server 2008 is scheduled for the Q2 2009 period, but this might change.

VISTA RTM SP2 Links

Take these with a grain of salt because i do not know if they work yet. However the files do exist.
In any case hurry before they take them down

Are you sure these links are the RTM?

Is this the same as the escrow build or is it different?

I managed to download both of them with no issues by the way.

HellasVagabond · Apr 29, 2009

Well no beta remarks anywhere, the file size and name is exactly as the RTM one so i don't have reason to say otherwise.

Your post just faded into view without me refreshing my browser. That was so cool, I didn't know this was possible

WarEagleAU · Apr 29, 2009

ITs a new feature for them. Damn, I really want to go to SP2. This whole wait game sucks!

The x86 link is not functioning.
The x64 is online.

farlex85 · Apr 29, 2009

I want to download this, but I don't know why. Why am I so eager to download a service pack? I need to take a break. :laugh:

I just got it about 5 minutes ago. I must have just got it in time :cool:

If anyone knows how I can share such a big file, I'm all ears to posting a link for you guys.

Breathless · Apr 29, 2009

THE X86 LINK WORKS, I just confirmed it, you just have to keep trying.

At first I was getting "......exe.html" instead of just the exe. Kept trying and finally got just the "......exe"

HellasVagabond · Apr 29, 2009

Perhaps many tried to download it from the links i provided here and some other forums...
Hope everyone can get them in time, MS will most likely pull them down.

I found some rapidshare links for these updates,if anyone wants em.

The Witcher · Apr 29, 2009

Seems to me that they have removed the links, damn you MS, I hate to wait ;(

HellasVagabond · Apr 29, 2009

Try again, there must be hundreds of simultaneous downloads that why they dont work.

Darknova · Apr 29, 2009

v286 is the release candidate (build number 16676). It is NOT the RTM version (build number 18005).

Go here for the torrents to the leaked RTM version.

techie81 · Apr 29, 2009

I was about to install but I noticed it was a "pre-release" and expires next year.

BroBQ · Apr 29, 2009

both of those links worked for me... very slow downliading tho
