    Microsoft aiming to deliver Vista SP2 before Windows 7

    Mary Jo Foley: The Windows team is readying second service packs (SP2) for Vista — and for its server complement, Windows Server 2008 — and is aiming to deliver these SP2s before it releases Windows 7, according to my sources.

    I’m hearing that Microsoft already has delivered a beta of at least Vista SP2 to select hardware and software partners, the same way that it has been providing a hand-chosen few with early builds of Windows 7...

    Well it would be nice to get SP2 soon, but I don't have issues after SP1.

    Maybe it will come with some new cool features!

    hopefully it will sort out some of the slower copy speeds. I know they sort of fixed it in sp1, but its still pretty slow compared to xp.

    We might even see some new bits from windows 7 like the improved paint & wordpad programs hopefully

    Your sig is funny, lol.

    Agreed on the x-fer times. I do wish they were faster. I do like that paint saves in JPEG format by default now. Great for screen shots.
