Vista SP2 in beta testing - But will anyone care?
The next update to Windows Vista will enter beta next week, bringing with it support for Blu-ray drives and Bluetooth, and a few bug fixes, among other enhancements.
In a blog posting on Friday, Microsoft confirmed that a beta version of Windows Vista Service Pack 2 will be released next week, probably later in the week.
The software maker said earlier this week that it was working on Vista SP2, but wouldn’t go into detail.
In addition to the above fixes, it will include Windows Search 4.0, the latest version of Microsoft’s desktop search technology. Why they think it will replace Google is anyone’s guess, but it’ll be there anyhow.
I think at this point, those that use and like Vista will use it regardless, and those who could care less, won’t care about this service pack at all. It may be time for MS to cut their losses and move on to “Windows 7″ at this point.
