This after private testers with the MSDN and TechNet services receive their copies first.
For the first time, the SP2 standalone package will be delivered to users not according to operating system build, but to byte length. So the 32-bit standalone service pack (302 MB with the basic five languages, 390 MB for multi-language) will update both 32-bit Vista and 32-bit Windows Server 2008. Then there will be two 64-bit standalones, including one which covers x64 architectures (508 MB / 622 MB) and one for Itanium 64-bit (384 MB / 396 MB). The RC will represent a kind of dress rehearsal for this new method of distribution.
While the big theme for Vista SP2 has been reliability improvements, perhaps the most prominent new operating system feature undergoing its final round of tests will be the ability to burn to Blu-ray media using BD-R. This is being described as "the ability to record data to Blu-ray Disc Media," which is not exactly the same as saying "burn high-def videos." Currently, the Ultimate version of Vista SP1 enables users to burn recorded videos from digital video sources to DVD. Though it's technically feasible to burn high-def videos, when they're burned to regular DVD, they won't be all that long.
Microsoft isn't saying much today about changes to Media Center for SP2, other than to say that it adds improvements to its content protection features...which isn't exactly everyone's favorite feature.

the new features are shitty boring

i want to know that in the windows vista sp2 includes the directx 11 !! microsoft told us

according to a confidential source, microsoft has decided to switch to ray-tracing in
directx 11. they also plan to have directx 11 ready in time to debut with windows vista
service pack 2. to do that, they have also decided to base it on the x86 architecture and
intel's ray-tracing engine. there are rumours that intel did more than just "suggest"
it to microsoft, but that's another story altogether.
