Changes from Windows XP SP1[edit | edit source]
- The Security Center has been added, which enhances the Windows Firewall.
- The OOBE has a new page for Automatic Updates.
- The boot screens of all editions have been unified. Most notably, it no longer displays the SKU, and the boot screen for the Home Edition now uses a blue progress bar.
- Native Bluetooth support has been added.
- Improvements to wireless networking.
- The Remote Desktop Connection has been updated to version 5.1.2600.1154.
- Windows Media Player has been updated to version 9.
- .NET Framework has been updated to version 1.1 SP1.
- If a bugcheck appears, the system now reboots automatically after the physical memory has been dumped, if set so. This can be disabled permanently in "Advanced" > "Startup and Recovery" in the System Properties, and temporarily when the dedicated option is selected in the "Advanced Startup Options" during boot.
- Device Manager console got ability to display vendor and device IDs in "Details" tab of devices properties.
- Internet Explorer 6 was updated to SV1 version (a.k.a. IE 6 SP2) with script and pop-up window blocker.
- If the processor supports PAE, an additional line "Physical Address Extension" is added beneath the processor specifications in System Properties.
Revisions[edit | edit source]
Two revisions of Service Pack 2 were later released:
- Service Pack 2b (followed by Service Pack 2a for its server counterpart) was released in August 2006 to incorporate the requirement of manual activation of ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer, in order to sidestep an Eolas patent (which was ultimately invalidated in 2012). Microsoft later licensed the patent from Eolas in November 2007 and released a patch in April 2008 (before the release of Service Pack 3) to revert the change.
- Service Pack 2c was released in September 2007 to extend the number of available OEM product keys for the Professional edition.
