Microsoft aiming to deliver Vista SP2 before Windows 7 - TechAmok
Microsoft aiming to deliver Vista SP2 before Windows 7 - [software] 06:01 PM EDT - Oct,15 2008 - post a comment According to All about Microsoft writer
Mary Jo Foley
the company will deliver SP2 before the highly anticipated Windows 7 release
rumoured in the second half of next year. It is widely expected that Hyper-V will be included with Vista SP2 alongside the usual OS improvements and hot fixes that a service pack brings.
I haven't heard details from any testers regarding any of the features due in
Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2008 SP2. But here are some tidbits of what I have
heard from my sources:
- Microsoft's goal is to deliver both SP2 releases before it delivers Windows 7
in order to lessen confusion among users as to whether to deploy Vista and
Windows Server 2008 - or to wait for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 (a k a
Windows 7 Server). - - Currently, Microsoft is believed to be attempting to RTM
Windows 7 in the second half of 2009. The Softies have said Windows Server 2008
R2 is on track for 2010.
- Because Microsoft is trying to keep Windows client and server code in
lock-step, Windows Server 2008 was built around the Vista SP1 codebase. That's
why the first standalone service pack for Server 2008 is being called SP2. As
many customers still are reticent to deploy a new OS until the first standalone
SP goes out, Microsoft also is pushing to get SP2 for server out there to
convince these users to consider upgrading.
- The biggest deliverable in SP2 for Windows Server 2008 will be the
integration of the Hyper-V bits with the server OS.
