I went from the original Vista to Vista SP-1 and noticed considerable
improvements. My system is very stable now.

Is there a compelling reason to upgrade to SP-2? I don't need any
Bluetooth, touchpad, Warp Drive, ray gun, or other out-of-world feature
enhancements since my system is relatively simple. I always install Windows
Updates (other than the SP-2 that's offered daily). I also don't feel there
are any additional security features in SP-2, unless I'm mistaken.

Comments? Is anyone there just happy with SP-1 and avoiding the possible
problems with SP-2 installation? Or am I missing out on something really
important? Thanks.

vista is irrelevant and always will be no matter how many service packs
they throw at it, consider to upgrading that piece of crap to windows7
once its available to the masses

I am not a big Vista fan...
but do have an installation that I just installed SP2 on
and noticed that the system definitely performed better...
so to all those who use Vista...I'd say SP2 is a good idea...
probably added some security updates too

Yeah, I am running both Vista 64 bit SP2 Home Premium and Windows 7 RC
and would really see no compelling reason to move to Windows 7. Its a
nice OS but so is the Vista.

You're the one bragging about it.

Once Vista SP1 is retired (two years after the release of SP2) then SP2 will
be necessary in order to receive updates, including security patches.

Are you saying instead of Rogaine, it would be much more appropriate for
Frank to rub Preperation H into his scalp ?

SP2 has been more or less benign. In my case, it cut my boot times
(power-on to login prompt) from roughly 2:15-2:30 to 1:05-1:15. Any
other changes seem to be more subtle.

Thanks to you and the couple of others who replied directly to my question.
I think I'll just stay with SP-1 and be happy with my current system
stability.
