Vista Help on the Way

Usually IT waits until a new product gets its first service pack before adopting. In the case of Vista, many are waiting for SP2, SP3 or maybe Windows 7. We'll soon know, though, if SP2 is compelling or repelling as preview code is being sent out to a select group of users.

There are a bunch of new features in the pack, such as better Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and search. But the key, or course, is in the fundamentals -- compatibility, performance and reliability. I'm still on XP, but if Redmond Report readers like what they see in Vista SP2, I'll go for it.

How is Vista SP1 and what do expect in SP2? Cheers and jeers both readily listened to at [email protected].
