Windows Vista Service Pack 2 Beta Download

Microsoft is making the betas of the Windows Vista Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 available through their Customer Preview Program. Links are currently up for MSDN subscribers and Technet subscribers with public links announced to follow soon on the very same page.

Windows Vista Service Pack Beta 2 is available in the five languages English, German, Japanese, Spanish and French. Microsoft did publish the release notes for Windows Server 2009 Service Pack 2 Beta and Windows Vista Service Pack 2 Beta already. The release notes do not contain many information at this point but they contain information about incompatible applications and updates which should be updated or installed prior to installing the beta release of the Service Pack.

Users with previous versions of Service Pack 2 have to uninstall that Service Pack before being able to install the beta 2. This is done in the Control Panel as usual. The website where MSDN or Technet subscribers can find their download links and where regular users will find their download links as well is available here. Interested users can also take a look at the updates and patches that are included in both betas of the Service Packs.

It should be noted that this is still a beta release and therefor intended to be installed on development or test computer systems.
