Windows Server 2008 and Vista Service Pack 2

May 28, 2009 by Wayne Small 2 Comments

Well after months of testing the first service pack for Windows Server 2008 was released Service Pack 2 yes that sound strange doesn t it the first Service Pack for Server 2008 is SP2, that is because Server 2008 was released at SP1 level because it shares the same code base as Windows Vista. So Microsoft have now created Service Pack 2 which applies to both Vista AND Windows Server 2008 (and therefore SBS 2008 and EBS 2008 and Windows Server 2008 Foundation too).

Tonight I decided to quickly install Vista Service Pack 2 on my Toshiba Portege R500 laptop. I thought that it might help with stability issues that I ve had. Well, I m not sure on the stability issues right now as it s only been 2 hours since I installed it, so I ll report on it later. However it did take nearly 1.5 hours for the Service pack to full install including all the reboots. It s not a quick install, but it did go through nicely without any issues. The system seems a little snappier to respond right now and I m sure that I ll find out more tomorrow.

    I seldom comment, but i did a few searching and wound up here Windows Server 2008 and Vista Service
    Pack 2. And I actually do have 2 questions for you if it’s allright.
    Could it be only me or does it look like some
    of these remarks look like they are left by brain dead individuals?

    😛 And, if you are writing on other places, I’d like to follow everything fresh you have to post.
    Could you make a list of every one of your communal pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page
    or linkedin profile?

    Look into my site Game of thrones season 3
