EnglishVista之家（www.vista123.com）：【Vista之家译】Vista SP2不会再有Beta版本
就跟Windows 7一样，Steven Sinofsky，微软Windows和Windows Live团队副总管透露Vista SP2将会直接从Beta过渡到RC，而不会停留在Beta阶段。事实上，微软已经否认Vista SP2还会有新的Beta版本，同时也指出下一步SP2就会直接RC。
“不会再有SP2的Beta版本了”，Erik Lustig，微软产品经理称。
“我们已经看到一个相当稳定的Vista SP2 Beta。回头想想SP1，当初我们曾注入了很多心血，而现在，从已经安装SP1的Vista上，我们拿到了很满意的数据。我们看到了兼容性上的提升，性能上的提高和电池寿命的延长，相信SP2也能给我们带来一系列的改进。”
最近微软刚刚发布了Vista SP2的beta版本，同时也是Windows Server 2008 SP2。事实上，SP1发布后，微软就已经开始着手SP2的开发了。
目前为止，微软并未明确表态将会在何时公开发布SP2的下个版本，他们只是指出将会在2009年上半年发布SP2 正式版。但是，据透露，微软已经打算在2009年2月发布SP2 RC，4月发布正式版。
Announcing Availability: Beta of Windows Vista and Server 2008 SP2
附部分原文：
As is the case with Windows 7, which Steven Sinofsky, senior vice president, Windows and Windows Live Engineering Group, revealed would move straight from Beta 1 to Release Candidate, Windows Vista Service pack 2 will not linger in Beta stage. Microsoft in fact denied that it planned to offer multiple Betas of Vista SP2, indicating that the Release Candidate was the next stage for the service pack. The Redmond company emphasized that the availability of the gold edition of Vista SP2 was intimately connected with the quality of the development milestones in concordance with the feedback from testers via the Customer Preview Program.
“No multiple Betas for Vista SP2,” stated Erik Lustig, senior product manager in the Windows Business Group.
“We're seeing a pretty solid stability [for Vista SP2 Beta]. The way to think about it is that SP1 was pretty significant, pretty sizable, there was quite a bit of effort that went into that, and we feel very positively when we look at the telemetry data that we get back on Service Pack 1-based systems. We've seen compatibility improve drastically, and performance, and battery life. And we really feel we've delivered on the promise of what SP1 was going to be. Service Pack 2 is the idea of continuous improvement.”
