Here is the beta release of the new Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista, which is due for release in the early spring. It mostly makes some improvements to Wireless Networking with a redesigned connection wizard, added Bluetooth support, and reduced resource requirements for the Windows Sidebar. Lot of other bug fixes and internal tweaks, not much that is visible and no new "features" as such.

I am NOT recommending that folks install a "beta" of a service pack, but for those early adopter types with a decent backup and an insatiable urge to tweak Windows, here it is:

Vista 32bit:

Just installed the service pack. Took about 15 minutes and went without a hitch. Don't see much difference of course, but everything works fine.
