Vista Service Pack 2
#6
Bug fixes and hardware support mainly, but adds Windows Search 4.0, the Bluetooth 2.1 Feature Pack supporting the most recent specification for Bluetooth Technology, the ability to record data on to Blu-Ray media natively, Windows Connect Now (WCN) and SP2 enables the exFAT file system to support UTC timestamps.
Nothing at all to get excited about.

I wasn't either. I was merely pointing out that(not very well obviously) whilst some people are quite happy to adopt the latest version, that there is a lot of FUD around new versions of Windows, with the inevitable "Got to wait for SP1" cries from the talking heads.
Fwiw, I was a beta tester for W95, W95SR2, W98, SE and ME. The only reason I don't now is because I can't be arsed, and as I work with PC's all day, when I go home I just want something that works. Like Vista on my laptop and desktop that I've been running for about 6 months.
Perhaps I should of put a " " at the end of my post? WHOOOAAA, that wasn't a dig at your btw!

It seemed that once I was on the "correct" list at MS, every time they got towards the RC stage of a new version of the W9x tree, they'd contact me and ask if I wanted a copy. I think they thought I was someone important at a large global company, maybe the "Senior" bit in my job title confused them, the fact that I didn't have any one below me was irrelevant. I always had two PC's on the go at home, so one always ended up being the sacrificial goat. I left the company a few years ago, so don't get the spam from MS any more.
I enjoyed the W95 experience so much, that I ended up buying OS/2 Warp, then I moved to NT4, W2kPro, XP Pro, as that was what I used at work, and I now run Vista. I only really used the 9x line for things that wouldn't run on anything else, mainly games. I paid for 98, ME, XP Pro and Vista, anything in between I either didn't use or came with hardware.
