Vista SP 2 now available
I think I may be one of the few people on earth especially in my field, that likes Windows Vista. If there are any others out there, this is good news for you. Windows Vista Service Pack 2 is now available for download.
You can download SP2 from Microsoft's Web site or it will be automatically delivered to your computer via Windows Update within a few weeks. The update weighs in at 384mb and you must have Vista SP1 installed on your system to install SP2.
Vista SP2 also:
- Fixes Wi-Fi issues when Vista awakes from sleep mode.
- Support for recording Blu-ray discs straight from the OS
- Bug fixes that address slow shutdowns and mysterious crashes.
- Updated support for Bluetooth v2.1
- Improves performance of Vista desktop sidebar gadget allowing RSS feeds to perform better.
- Addresses overall Vista system performance issues. Microsoft says SP2 repairs nearly 700 nagging Vista bugs and security updates.
- Boosts power management efficiency by 10%.
- Adds support for VIA Technologies' new 64-bit CPU
- Allows Vista to support exFAT, which can handle larger files and can also use UTC timestamps so you can synchronize files across different time zones.

To be honest, I don't like Vista as much as XP... but, it's a memory issue.
I love it that I can run a clean install of XP SP3 on less than 1 GB of RAM.
But, Vista is great on a faster machine. With SP2 out, it will definitely work out a lot of the bugs that plagued early Vista adopters.

Don't worry your not alone. I also do like Vista and will be checking on your input. I had posted a few days ago how the updates actually make a difference in the way your computer performs. Computer trouble shooting is a step by step process. I like to always first perform virus and malware checks and then check the system for any updates needed. Then I move onto software and last hardware.
