TechARP reports news of the upcoming Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista! Microsoft is doing their best to rush out Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista so there will be additional incentive for folks to upgrade to Window Vista now, instead of waiting for Windows 7. So the latest schedule should come as no surprise.

As Microsoft has done in previous Service Pack releases (Windows Vista SP1, Windows XP SP3), they will be releasing Windows Vista Service Pack 2 in language waves. If Microsoft follows the original language wave schedule in Vista SP1, then the first wave would support English, German, Japanese, French and Spanish. The second wave would support Chinese, Korean and Brazilian Portuguese.

It looks like Microsoft has delayed the release of their release candidate and RTM builds by a month. Replacing the original release candidate build is something they call a "release candidate escrow build". An escrow build means that "code development has ceased as developers and beta testers hunt for recall-class bugs. The escrow code is considered the release-to-manufacturing code". Thanks for the tip, basic!

The actual release candidate build has now been delayed till March. The RTM build of Service Pack 2, which was originally scheduled for April, has been delayed until sometime in Q2, 2009. That means a launch in either May or June, barring any further delays.
