Any idea when windows 7 service pack 2 will come out. Will jit ust be a standard update. or a service pack with some new features I such as where windows can reinstall a fresh copy of itself which is a feature in windows 8 comming out. What version of internet explorer will be included in this service pack.

It must be 200 updates since service pack 1 so I wonder how service pack will be different from what i have now.

It may come soon, because it is usually about every 18 months. It will come:) We just have to wait.

Microsoft considers that to be one of the biggest features in Windows 8. They won't give the Windows 7 people Metro. i wanted Metro... Just kidding, lol

Some of the speed improvements in W8 would be nice. Particularly the graphics and boot improvements.

I don't have the hardware to take advantage of that.

I already have USB 3.0 support with my hardware and manufacturer provided drivers. I don't think Microsoft needs to add that for a service pack until it's a lot more mature and has been around for a while longer. Thunderbolt is a huge waste IMHO and shouldn't be bothered with - I'm not spending $50 for a 2 ft cable. I bet it will be less used than firewire 400.

There was nothing wrong with ME that wasn't casued by being overhyped in the first place.
It had a couple of very significant firsts
1) First with System Restore
2) First with no DOS shell

The biggest problem with ME was Norton :)

(I got my MVP for ME support, BTW - it's an old friend for me)
