    Just downloaded through windows update.

    It downloaded and installed a bit 'fast', but i suppose it's because vista was up to date to that point.

    Any differences ?

    Or is it more about stability ?

    running fine so far.. some reason it wasn't on windows update for me- I haven't read the changes but from what was posted- it looks like it fixes some issues like the wireless going out on hibernate

    The above does work, as I have used it on both my 32 & 64bit installations...

    yes.. I used it as well. Works fine.

    I have noticed no great changes in stability or speed with SP2.

    Vista Glazz is awaiting a SP2 version... so my themes are screwed at the moment... Oh well.

    Mmm, doesn't look so nice without Vista Glazz :(

    But I've noticed it boots a bit slower, but logs in faster.

    Also, major bonus, there is no longer a limit on half-open TCP connections, so hooky drivers aren't required any more, and thus no ReadyDriver Plus is needed either :)

    But other than that it's the same TBH.

    (Also, wasn't on Windows Update yesterday for me. Who knows?)

    I haven't really noticed any differences at all. Oh well I'm going to switch to Windows 7 fully soon...
