Nothing major has been announced just yet, but here&#39;s what we know so far: <\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font>First off, <strong>SP2<\/strong> will have the updated Windows Search 4.0, which makes finding files, e-mail and network items quicker and easier. There&#39;s also the inclusion of Microsoft&#39;s new exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table), or FAT64 file system, which (among other techno-babble) is basically a better way for Vista to read flash drives with compact operating systems like Windows Embedded CE installed on them. <\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font>Bluetooth 2.1 is also present in SP2. What&#39;s so cool about it? How about no more pairing problems? All you&#39;ll have to do is put two BT 2.1 capable devices next to one another and *Zing*, they connect! Now that&#39;s the future, and quite honestly how I imagined Bluetooth to work in the first place.<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font>Another &ldquo;blue&rdquo; item is on the agenda in the update as well. Those with the hardware who wish to burn data onto Blu-Ray discs will be able to do so natively (meaning without a separate program) in Vista SP2. Let the gigabytes flow freely, people!<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font>Finally, Microsoft&#39;s Windows Connect Now feature is being implemented in Vista. This makes setting up a network, wireless or otherwise simpler for the regular user be allowing them to store network configurations on USB flash drives and then bring the device around the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.neighborhoodrealtyonline.com\/\">can women take viagra<\/a>  network to integrate the settings. I know, I know, XP already has this feature, but hey, these things take time, I guess.<br \/> <\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font>I&#39;ll have more on Windows Vista Service Pack 2 in the future, in the meantime prepare yourself and those around you for the coming update! \ud83d\ude42<\/font><\/p>\n<!-- Social Bookmarks BEGIN -->\n<div class=\"social_bookmark\">\n<a title=\"Click me to see the sites.\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"$$('div.d1067').each( function(e) { e.visualEffect('slide_down',{duration:2.5}) }); return false;\"><strong><em>Bookmark to:<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\n<br \/>\n<div class=\"d1067\" style=\"overflow:hidden\">\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a style=\"font-size:90%;text-align: right; \" title=\"Click me to hide the sites.\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"$$('div.d1067').each( function(e) { e.visualEffect('slide_up',{duration:0.5}) }); return false;\">Hide Sites<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- Social Bookmarks END -->\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">$$('div.d1067').each( function(e) { e.visualEffect('slide_up',{duration:0.5}) }); <\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few tidbits surrounding Microsoft&#39;s second service pack for Windows Vista have trickled out on the web.
