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:

  1. Windows search 4: Speeds up searches by up to 30%.
  2. Bluetooth 2.1: Support for the latest Bluetooth specifications.
  3. exFAT file system: Improved file system for flash memory.
  4. Blu-Ray burning function: Allows Blu-Rays to be written using Windows Explorer.
  5. Saving function: SP2 is supposed to save the battery of notebooks and allegedly last 10% longer.
  6. 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 the 90s. 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 elsewhere, for example for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again. For a stress-free digital everyday life. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
