Vista SP2!

Vista Service pack 2 is on the way!

So far we know that SP2 will update Windows Search 4.0, which makes finding files, e-mail and network items quicker and easier.

Service pack 2 also includes Microsoft's new exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table), or FAT64 file system, which is basically a better way for Vista to read flash drives with compact operating systems like Windows Embedded CE installed on them.

Bluetooth 2.1 is also present in Vista Service Pack 2. This should help the pairing problems that existed previously. With this new technologu all you will have to do is put two Bluetooth 2.1 capable devices next to one another and they will automatically connect without the usual configuration!!

Those with the hardware who wish to burn data onto Blu-Ray discs will be able to do so natively in Vista SP2 and will no longer have to use third party programs.

And finally, Microsoft's Windows Connect Now feature is being implemented in Vista. This makes setting up a network, wireless or otherwise simpler for the regular user be allowing them to store network configurations on USB flash drives and then bring the device around the network to integrate the settings. XP already has this feature, but Vista has not - until now.
