Googled this one and came up with many different answers, so thought I'd turn to the trused techies at geekstogo.

Just wondered when we might expect Vista SP2 to be released, to solve all our woes?!

Any reliable dates, rather than mere speculation?

Cheers

A confidential source has revealed that Microsoft will deliver a Release Candidate in February, 2009 with the final SP2 binary scheduled for RTM (Release To Manufacturing) in April, 2009.

As always, do remember that when Microsoft announces that a product is RTM, it doesn't mean you will be able to download it right away. RTM merely means it is "released to manufacturing", including OEMs. Actual public release will be sometime later. Release to web (RTW) will also occur sometime after RTM.
