Download and test the latest Windows Vista Service Pack 2 RC1

March 5, 2009 in Operating systems | Permalink

Although Windows 7 is due soon, I doubt we'll be migrating so quickly as we did from XP to Vista. By 'we', I don't mean the entire company. No, they're primarily using XP. I mean the small office responsible for this downloads blog. We migrated to Vista and then quickly realised we'd also need to (pay for) upgrade our existing software, too. Indeed, some of the software developers had the cheek to highlight 'Windows Vista compatibility' as their primary new feature in the paid-for update. Still, Vista has its merits and Windows 7 looks like a step up again. If you own Windows Vista, you may be interested in the new Service Pack that's around the corner.

Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack 2 RC1 is now available and this brings a host of new features including support for burning Blu-ray discs from within the operating system. Bear in mind that this is still only a Release Candidate and, although feature-complete, still isn't completely bug free. We've provided a link to the ISO image which contains both the 32-bit and 64-bit updates as well as a standalone 32-bit only installer.
