Vista SP2 Launched

Vista Service pack2 which has been in beta stage from early December 2008 is out now with his final release on June 1 2009. Although the experts have downloaded and tried the installation pack, it is expected to have very few features added to it. The general rumour is Microsoft doesn't want to make Vista a better Os in order to promote its next big windows "Windows7" sales.

You might have noticed after installing Vista, the C drive will always show a varying disk space unlike Windows Xp. The reason behind is Vista doesn't clear the temp folder and has no restrictions in terms of disk space to be used by Temp folder. This is one of the notable features fixed in Vista SP2 and users can see a significant amount of free disk space on your PC/Laptop after the installation.

Few features added in Vista SP2:

* Improved performance for Wi-Fi and support for latest Bluetooth specification.
* Improved performance of Wi-Fi when coming out of Sleep mode.
* Blu-Ray disc Recording capabilities
* Improved search indexing and search relevance
* Better Free disk space management
