WOW This is one of the fakest things Ive ever seen....

OK Look....SP2 is not final at all; You can't leak something that hasnt been finalized/Gold/RTW.

If I install ALL the updates in Windows Update and/or Microsoft's site, I too have SP2 leaked ;)

I think its pretty clear there; And again: If I install all the updates, I have SP2 beta too.

Incorrect. You're wrong. If you spend half a second looking, you'd see that you're making yourself look pretty foolish right now.

Because it is fake; Photoshop.

And AFAIK, Its not against the rules to post code like that; Neowin has done it before. If in doubt, PM a mod.

Prove me wrong. Again SP2 beta may be out for private beta testers (and even that I doubt because remember that the invite was sent out just a few days ago) but it is not final or anything like Skynet said. It was not "leaked"

He didn't say the final was out... he clearly says the opposite:

i didn't said it is released

i said it got leaked (read:unofficially released sp2 beta)

by one of SP2 beta testers

And those aren't photoshopped pictures.

You must be new to the InterWebz. Surely nothing could be "leaked" on ther InterWebz....god no!

Leaked and Released do not have the same meaning.

Why did you not PM a mod?

I mean its great that, that includes all of the updates after SP1 (which is what SP2 beta is right now) but again; This is not final.

Vista SP2 has not been officially released, to testers or otherwise. The leaked bits are a hack, and of course, not endorsed by MS. Although testers are probably getting the same build when the time comes.

Nice to see W7 stuff ramping up :)

exactly

i posted cuz ...... see the page you will get it (the nay say'ers )

[asusfreak]

So people actually realise what the guy what responding to, it was:

No "beta" in there. Now, can we get back on topic.

Thank you :)

Found on Winfuture.de:

Just like with Windows Vista SP1 it is possible to install a pre-beta of Vista SP2 via Windows Update by modifying the registry. Save the following into a .bat file and run it as administrator:

@echo off

reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\VistaSp2 /f > NUL 2>&1
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\VistaSP2 /f > NUL 2>&1

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\VistaSp2 /v Beta1 /t REG_SZ /d C21A5C64-2530-CC19-042F-9ABDB4ED27F9 /f
IF NOT %errorlevel% == 0 ( goto ERROR)

:SUCCESS
@echo.
echo ================================================== =========
echo Windows Vista SP2 registry keys successfully set.
echo Please check for updates on Windows Update.
echo ================================================== =========
@echo.
goto END

:ERROR
@echo.
echo ================================================== =========
echo ERROR setting the Windows Vista SP2 registry keys
echo Please run this script as Administrator (right-click, 'Run as Administrator').
echo ================================================== =========
@echo.
goto END

:END
pause
pause

Checking for updates after running the .bat file will find and install the pre-beta of SP2.

WARNING:

Only run this batch file if you really know what you're doing. In other words, do it at your own risk.
