[H]ard|OCP has posted a link to where you can get the new Vista/Server 2008 SP2 release candidate. The first and most important step to take is to remove the beta version of SP2 if you have installed it, skipping that step may well ruin your day. The stand alone package is about 300MB for x86 and 500MB for the x64 version. There are numerous compatibility issues fixed ranging from POP3 support for ZoneAlarm to support for VIA 64bit processors. If you do try it out, bookmark the feedback link so you can report anything you want fixed before the final release.
