    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!

    Very very very good news. I'm looking forward to it hoping they will correct the current bugs.

    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.
