Windows 7 RC and Vista / 2008 SP2 is ready for MSDN/Technet Subscriber
For me this is huge updates. In 30 April Microsoft releases a lot of updated software. Two of the most downloaded since today is Windows 7 RC and SP2 for Vista or 2008.
Regardless of who you are, you can also download recently updates from Microsoft Download site for Windows Update user you will feel seemlessly update.
What’s new in SP2 ? Of course “huge bug fix and improvement in existing features” some additional features like the Vista Feature Pack for Wireless for easier/better connections, built-in Blu-Ray writing, and reduced resources required for sidebar gadgets. Nothing majorly huge, so it's worth looking at Windows 7 :)
SP2 installation will eat few hours of your time so be sure to bring your coffe or read a book. During installation I’m also read a good ebook about WCF Security. The installation will eat you about ~1GB so be sure to type in command prompt
>> compcln.exe
after installation. This will remove the older package (same with vsp1cln.exe approach).. so “Fakir storage” like me can feel the Sp2 also
Windows 7 itself is on RC, so in my oppinions Windows 7 will be RTM in September or November (Retail?) (if we follow the Microsoft lifecycle release in the past my guess is that the Windows 7 will be released in November 2009). Will install the RC by today and will report you soon.
Happy Monday
