GUYS! Let me remind you that Windows Vista SP2 are the first windows version able to run (Internet Explorer) IE9. There is also an other disgussion for gamers: Windows Vista SP2 , since 2011 , are the minimum requirement of an operating system to run those new fresh hot games like Crysis 3. Time change , so it’s time to decide between those two. I can totally determine the really usefulness service pack 2 for windows LongHorn *(Vista)*

Tio el Service Pack 2 tiene mejoras y soporte para hardware y software, y alguna que otras cosas, es lo mismo que el Service Pack 1 pero con unos añadidos y ya esta; sólo se mejoró el rendimiento en los gadgets de la Sidebar que se comían mucha RAM y dejaba lento a ordenadores que contaban o cuentan con 1GB de RAM; los hace un poquito más ligeros y nada más además la mayoria de las mejoras de este Service Pack (el 2) son de seguridad para internet lo que tu buscas ya se instaló en el primero asi que no sigas bscando más que no lo encontrarás.

Thanks for putting this together. You may think you wasted your time (based on the results), but you certainly saved a great deal of mine. I was going to move to sp2 because of graphic card/rendering speed, so your tests were exactly what I was looking for to make a decision. Thanks again. Steve

adding to the list of compliments in here . am in the process of upgrading vista-32bit to windows 7 and wondering if an SP2 upgrade was really even necessary. having already spent 5 hrs in the process of installing, uploading new updates, and fixing various bugs, etc am happy to have it confirmed that it isn’t.

am in renewed appreciation of you having spent in 20 hrs to help us all out. thanks a lot buddy!!!

Nice testing…great efforts from you. I had SP1 and 3 days back installed SP2. I believe that SP2 should be installed as it will have atleast something good. And it will be easy to step to SP3 if you have SP2…

going from xp to vista to win 7, I ve come back to vista and decided to stick with it . I ve come to realize that if you ve the physical resources to support Vista, windows 7 isnt really essential. I find windows vista better anyways – the classic theme with vista functionality is just epic, also, I think windows Vista ( like XP ) has better audio support – for some reason, my experience with audio editing on Windows 7 turned out be very glitchey , and on a variety of different machines too ( but then again I may be wrong ) . I appreciate your efforts to compare SP1 to SP2 – article is great, thanks again good man .

i had an old laptop that had win xp, my hardware had a tough time with it,explorer.exe used to crash for no reason in fresh installs. I finally had enough and installed vista in it. It is working great now. I seriously dont know how so many people hate vista

i have had bad experiences with vista sp2 running on a hp pavilion dv6552ea (bad laptop to start but it gets worse) i then read the updates and the one that caught my eye was wi-fi. after long laborious update my hp wireless assistant notified me with :WLAN disabled when ussaly i get (you geussed it) wlan enabled. with that i switched my wireless and it still regretably told me wlan disabled i then got the infamous black screen, boot up failure and a further usb driver recognition failed so backup was an inevitable fail. i resorted to full system restore losing everything. Ms have failed and windows seven proves to be but a pittence of an apology (an apology none the less) but whatever you do DONT update to sp2 stick with sp1 and upgrade to 7
