Vista Service Pack 2 - Yes or no?

I'm on Vista SP1... Should I go SP2? Any issues I should be worried about?

No show stoppers. Back up and go for it.

I'm on SP2 and don't have any issues

Are you 32 or 64 bit ?

You can always create a system restore point if anything goes badly wrong.

edit: I see in your sig you're 64 bit; there are no issues that I know of

I moved to SP2 a few months ago when it appeared on Windows Update and it's been good for me!

I'm using Vista Business 64-bit

sp2 was fine too for me on 64bit

Has been yes for ages.

System Restore point? Is that easy?

Yep

Click Start (or the windows logo), right click on "Computer" and click "Properties"

Click "System protection" from the links on the left and then click "Create" in the "System Properties" dialogue box which shows (it'll show on the "System Protection" tab)

It stopped my bluetooth dongle from working and I have not been able to obtain a driver since. It works perfectly in Windows 7.

Basically gets vista to xp's level of reliability.
