Download Windows Vista SP2 Beta and Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 Beta
Following the success of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 last spring, Microsoft (MSFT)has been working hard on Windows Vista Service Pack 2. As a part of the development and testing process, they are going to start by providing a small group of Technology Adoption Program customers with Windows Vista SP2 Beta for evaluation. The final release date for Windows Vista SP2 will be based on quality. So they will track customer and partner feedback from the beta program before setting a final date for the release.
Beginning Thursday Dec. 4th, Microsoft will be making the Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 Beta available to everyone through a Customer Preview Program (CPP). The CPP will launch on TechNet and be available to anyone interested in trying out this service pack. The CPP is intended for technology enthusiasts, developers, and IT Pros who would like to test Service Pack 2 in their environments and with their applications prior to final release. For most customers, our best advice would be to wait until the final release prior to installing this service pack.
SP2 Beta Standalone updates for computers with one or more of the following five languages: English, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish. If your computer has any other language installed this option will not work.
