I heard this rumour too, I don't know if its true or not, it’s got todays date in Wikipedia, i'm getting bored of waiting for it now.

It's available on TechNet

Dos_Box · 26-05-2009, 08:40 AM

And WSUS has it downloaded too

This is the one which does 2K8 yeah?

Is it safe on a 2K8 server?

I got the notification from VLS a few weeks back (think it was released at the start of the month). The two server rebuilds today have been straight Svr 08 SP2 builds as the combined slipstream is also on Technet and VLS. Seems a bit quicker on the same hardware - particularly the MMC consoles. Going to do an inplace upgrade on one of the other boxes later. Not tried the Vista SP2 upgrade yet - but its the same SP, so should be the same scenario I expect.

WOW! Just installed it. My computer seems to fly quite a bit faster and network discovery tasks in NetSupport Manager have flown!!!
