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

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.

Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 and Windows Vista Service Pack 2

April 28, 2009

 

Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista is an upcoming update to Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. ...

...

 

This site will be updated to include Service Pack 2 download details when they are available.

 

 

Interestingly, it's a combined Server 2008 & Vista SP2 - one download does both.

Vista & Server 2008 SP2 is on WSUS now (synched 5 AM this morning), but none of my Vista or Server 2008 machines are showing as needing it.

 

EDIT:-

 

Oops spoke too soon. They are now. Downloading...

Just did a fresh Vista image build with the integrated SP2 of MVLS and it seems quicker and is certainly less hassle than SP1 + shedloads of integrated updates + shedloads since the last image. Fresh install of Office 2007 SP2 on it also seems better and helpfully includes the ODF and save to PDF stuff by default.
