here are the changes for SP2 -
In addition to previously released updates since the launch of Windows Vista SP1, Windows Vista SP2 contains changes focused on supporting new types of hardware and adding support for several emerging standards:

Windows Vista SP2 adds Windows Search 4.0 for faster and improved relevancy in searches.
Windows Vista SP2 contains the Bluetooth 2.1 Feature Pack supporting the most recent specification for Bluetooth Technology.
Ability to record data on to Blu-Ray media natively in Windows Vista.
Adds Windows Connect Now (WCN) to simplify Wi-Fi Configuration.
Windows Vista SP2 enables the exFAT file system to support UTC timestamps, which allows correct file synchronization across time zones.

not really anything to get excited about.

Well there is the speed increase of Windows Vista when installing SP2 😉

I think search 4.0 was just rolled out via update. Other stuff seems new maybe i will try it.

Do you guys know if you update to sp2 now will you be able to update to the final version later. Or does it matter?
