Microsoft admits Vista, Server 2008 SP2 coming next year

Admitting to rumors that it was prepping a second service pack for Windows Vista and Server 2008, Microsoft this week issued the following statement: "Microsoft is working on a second service pack for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. Service packs are part of the traditional software life cycle--they're something we create for all Microsoft products as part of our commitment to continuous improvement. And, as is standard, Microsoft is continuously having conversations with key stakeholders, prior to broadly distributing test builds. We will share more details in the coming months." Expect to see it ship in Q2 2008, and don't expect to see any new features: This one is just a regular service pack, aggregating previous patches into a single installer. Meanwhile, you can expect Office 2007 SP2 to hit a little earlier than Vista SP2, probably in first quarter of 2009.
