Publisher's Description
Windows Vista introduces a breakthrough user experience and is designed to help you feel confident in your ability to view, find, and organize information and to control your computing experience.
The visual sophistication of Windows Vista helps streamline your computing experience by refining common window elements so you can better focus on the content on the screen rather than on how to access it. The desktop experience is more informative, intuitive, and helpful. And new tools bring better clarity to the information on your computer, so you can see what your files contain without opening them, find applications and files instantly, navigate efficiently among open windows, and use wizards and dialog boxes more confidently.

Should you choose another operating system, you should better try Free Windows. The distribution disk is rather cheap (I dont remember exactly, but approx. 22-25 $), software is free. http://free-windows.com

I began using the alpha of this in December 2008 and thought I'd found heaven for Vista. The great experience continued thru the betas, but then I installed this "final release." And since then, I've seen more BSODs over the past couple of weeks than I saw across years of XP and even the crappy old Vista.
Another perfect example of Microsoft taking 2 steps forward and 3 steps backwards. Having before seen it so few times, I honestly had little idea what the BSOD was until installing this piece of crap. I now know it well. Oh, and there have also been 3 "hardware failure" shutdowns since installing this so-called final release. Bottom line: this release is infinitely less stable than the alphas & betas of it over the past several month.
User beware. I do not recommend this download.

anyone know how to remove the little message that appears on the bottom right hand corner of the desktop that still infers the "evulation copy of sp2"?
uninstalling the sp2 beta didn't remove it.

Pretty painless install, although it takes an awfully long time for it to "personalize" Windows Mail (which I have never used).
Once up and running after the install, I ran into a problem with Windows Update hanging on load. However, this went away after a reboot (although it did initally list SP2 as being ready to intall on opening which went away with a refresh). Other than that, no issues so far.

Is this the final version of Vista SP2? There are no references to a final Vista SP2 on Microsoft's site...

Not quite this one as i installed the x64 version but it installed in 17 mins with one reboot. The whole systems feels a little more stable and responsive but thats just a feeling in my water rather than an analysed opinion.

Started process (in Safe Mode) and walked away, assuming the installation would take more than an hour. I checked 24 minutes later, and the installation was fiinished and the computer was running properly. At this point, I see no observable differences between SP1 and SP2. I asume there are differences, particularly regarding safety issues, but they do not appear to be obvious to a casual observer.
It looks like MS has done a good job with this one.

donmor46, no Microsoft have not released it over and over again. In fact this is the first (and probably last, ie. SP2a) time SP2 is released to general public. What has been released before are release canidates, and one of these candidates became final. And general public did not have access to that release candidate build.
