Adding the SP2 contents would have made it even larger (certainly it can’t shrink if it’s cumulative).Īnother reason is that because now that Vista SP1 and Server 2008 are synced-up, having the entire contents of the SP1 client code in the first service pack for the Server would have meant carrying a lot of extra size for the Server deployments. There were a lot of customer concerns around the size of SP1. There were a number of reasons we did this, the primary one is that the size of the standalone package for SP1 was so large. That means that SP2 is an incremental service pack, which is a significant change from past service pack releases. This will be the first service pack for Windows Server 2008 since it shipped and includes a lot of performance improvements for WS08.ĭid you notice that I specifically said Windows Vista Service Pack 1? That’s correct, if you want to install this service pack on Vista, you must first have SP1 installed. This is a combined update for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista Service Pack 1. Windows Vista Service Pack 2 Beta is now available for public download on MSDN and TechNet.
