Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2) Release Candidate (RC) launched by Microsoft

Microsoft has launched the latest Release Candidate (RC) of Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2) to the general public as expected this week. Brandon LeBlanc, a Windows Blogger, announced the release in a blog post, and highlighted a list of notable changes and technical information.

By providing these fixes integrated into a single service pack, Microsoft has provided a single high-quality update that minimises deployment and testing complexity for customers.

In addition to all previously released updates the SP2 will contain changes focused on addressing reliability and performance issues, support for new hardwares, and adding support for several emerging standards. SP2 will also continue to make it easier for IT administrators to deploy and manage large installations of Windows Server 2008. To view thye notable chages follow this link

It is reported that Internet Explorer 8 is fully removable in Windows 7 build 7048. (See a post by blogger – Chris ). You can recall that Microsoft had a long term dispute with European Commission over Microsoft’s anti-competitive practices including bundling of IE with O/S.
