Microsoft fulfills its promise of a quick delivery of a Release Candidate for SP2 for Windows Vista and Windows 2008 Server. Unfortunately, enterprises will see few worthwhile upgrades. There are some hardware and wireless improvements, but users and administrators will see the most beneficial upgrades to the search capabilities.
Microsoft officials March 5 followed through on their February promise to quickly deliver a Release Candidate for Service Pack 2 for both Windows Vista and Windows 2008 Server.
