Public test of Vista Service Pack 2 due from Microsoft on Thursday
Microsoft released beta versions of Windows Vista Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 to subscribers of MSDN and TechNet today. Public beta versions are to be ascribed Thursday. Details on Microsoft’s Windows and Server blogs.
Mary Jo Foley has a rundown of features in Vista SP2, which include support for Bluetooth, Blu-ray and a good bit more.
On Monday, TechARP quoted an anonymous source saying Vista SP2 could be released to manufacturing in April. The official equinoctial circle is first moiety of 2009.
Foley thinks an April free makes sense:
“Given the Redmondians’ request to get Vista SP2 out the door in front of Windows 7 is released to manufacturing, April makes a lot of sense. The latest RTM targets I’ve heard for Windows 7 are in the June/July 2009 kingdom.”
