Hmm so Vista SP2 and Office 2007 SP2 would be released on the same day, on 4/28?

No, that's not going to happen...it should be released in May or June; what they are doing on the 28th is having us get our systems ready for SP2 however there will probably be some more regular patches after that prior to SP2.

There is an update coming to Windows Update this Tuesday, as they are getting it ready it seems for Vista SP2...find out more here:

Question,

Since 6002.18005 is the final rtm and I have 6002.17506 installed and ran the cleanup utility am I out of luck updating to 18005?

Today's KB947821 and KB955430 came up not applicable for my system. :cry:

So how do you do it after running the SP clean-up utility? It won't let you un-install it, that was my question.

You cant, hence the comment.. SOL - **** out of luck

Thanks for your clear, concise answer. My appoligies if I wasn't clear enough. Uninstall the old what btw??

Sorry with the forums being awkward its a bit hard to post responses...

You need to uninstall the old service pack (Pre-release one) before you try the new

If you've run the clean-up its pretty much impossible i think.

Plus the 090313 build if i recall had a bug with Networking parameters.. Autotuninglevel couldnt be set to "Normal" since it didnt recognise it but setting to "Restricted" appeared to set it to normal :p

@kpo6969

you ran the cleanup tool, so you have to reinstall your PC. Sorry.

reinstalling your PC after running the removal tool does not make sense, all it does is remove the older files that the SP updated to free up space n such. nothing more.

If you use the cleanup tool it no longer has the files that it needs to put back in place to resume its previous configuration before you installed that particular build of SP2. In other words the cleanup tool deleted the SP1 files that it needs to revert to.

So in other words your permanently stuck using that build of SP2 unless you reinstall Vista. And then if your going to reinstall Vista anyway. I would recommend just using a slipstreamed image of Vista with SP2 integrated so you dont have to install Vista and then SP2.

    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.

    • Qwen 3.6 is better value per dollar, and you can run it locally for free.
