    Hi:
    I have dell studio 17 notebook with vista home premium SP1, and I'm not sure if I should install the new SP2, i'm afraid that the notebook could have problems with this update, like problems to boot windows again or some catastrophic error like that.

    Has anybody install this update on this notebook, should I expect problems ? Someone note real improvements thank to this SP ? Like faster boot up or better general OS performance ?

    Thanks !

    Service Pack 2 is perfectly safe. I haven't noticed any tangible performance benefits, but nothing's gotten worse, either. There's no real reason not to install Service Pack 2.

    Some people have mentioned faster boot times, but I confess I did not notice it all that much. I agree with Mastershroom though, I've not had problems with SP2.
