Hi All, I had it on for 2 days, found the bootup and the shut down was slow. I found very little difference between SP2 for Vista and SP3 for XP Apart from a couple of things, it is just a gloryfied update of fixes.
I have been runnng it since it came out in the beta release.It has been running extremely well,system is very stable and alot of issues have been rectified with SP2.
Keep in mind not all of the BETA downloads will install,i had to search the web for one that installed on my system.
Vista SP2 just installed 4 updates,2 security updats,an update for microsoft office,and an update for IE7,i have to say with these updates SP2 and vista are extremely impressive.Very crisp and clear images,speed has imoroved on SP2 over the initial install of SP2.Vista Aero looks very impressive now it is hard to describe,but almost as if it is translucent.No lag with web pages at all everything is as it should be with a windows system,click and there is the page.Windows live and live toolbar are now compatable,i could not enable live toolbar before because of a vista incompatability,not a problem now.One problem that is not fixed yet is,windows autoFill?..Don't know what's going on with that,but so far these 4 updates have improved SP2.

I've had mixed results with SP2 on my M1330. The new bluetooth interface seems better. Windows 7, now there's a whole 'nother matter! Nice!

I had my M1330 lock up a couple times after SP2 and it never did that before with Vista 64-bit Ultimate.
