Quick overview:
How the official Windows blog from Microsoft US reported, Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista (and Server 2008) is ready. It contains all the updates that have been released since SP1, as well as some new functions. These include:
- Windows search 4: Speeds up searches by up to 30%.
- Bluetooth 2.1: Support for the latest Bluetooth specifications.
- exFAT file system: Improved file system for flash memory.
- Blu-Ray burning function: Allows Blu-Rays to be written using Windows Explorer.
- Saving function: SP2 is supposed to save the battery of notebooks and allegedly last 10% longer.
- Flotter: In addition to some performance updates, the recognition rate of USB devices has also been improved. Communication between Windows and firewalls is also faster!
But beware: The Service Pack 1 of Windows Vista (Download here) is a prerequisite!
Service Pack 2 will be available in the next few days via Windows Update or the Microsoft download pages. Windows-Tweaks will of course keep you up to date!

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in 2001, his helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write for international publications such as PC-Praxis, Computerbild, PCWorld in the USA, IMTEST.de and Hifi.de. Sandro's main job is as Global Product Marketing Lead and Consultant for various global tech companies, including Microsoft, AVG, Avast, Nero, TeamViewer, Swiss IT Security Group and now currently in the fintech sector for Gendigital. But he can't get rid of his passion and shares his tweaks here again. Privately, he enjoys traveling the world and loves Asia, especially Japan, Singapore and Korea, but also natural places like Iceland and the Nordics. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
