Last night, I installed 388MB Windows Vista SP2 beta on my desktop machine. The download took a little over 5 minutes over my 1.2MB/sec limit cap.
The installation itself felt faster than SP1 did last year, it rebooted once and it’s done. All seems to still work without any issue. I kinda felt my machine is a little faster compared to before I applied SP2, but it’s probably just perceived rather than the truth, not sure.
The main changes in this SP2 don’t really affect me. I don’t have Bluetooth 2.1 devices, or 64-bit CPUs, or Blu-Ray yet, so Vista SP2 support for them are kinda moot for me, for now.
With that said, I’m still looking forward to Windows 7 beta 1 in January 2009, then I can hosed my Vista installation
