Windows Vista SP2 Details

Windows Vista SP2 Beta contains previously released fixes focused on addressing specific reliability, performance, and compatibility issues. We expect Windows Vista SP2 will retain compatibility with applications that run on Windows Vista and Windows Vista SP1 and are written using public APIs. 
Because we've adopted a single serviceability model, these improvements are integrated into a single service pack covering both Windows Vista (client) and Windows Server 2008 (server) versions. This should also minimize deployment and testing complexity for our customers.


In addition to previously released updates since the launch of Windows Vista SP1, Windows Vista SP2 contains changes focused on supporting new types of hardware and adding support for several emerging standards:

  • Windows Vista SP2 adds Windows Search 4.0 for faster and improved relevancy in searches.
  • Windows Vista SP2 contains the Bluetooth 2.1 Feature Pack supporting the most recent specification for Bluetooth Technology.
  • Ability to record data on to Blu-Ray media natively in Windows Vista.
  • Adds Windows Connect Now (WCN) to simplify Wi-Fi Configuration.
  • Windows Vista SP2 enables the exFAT file system to support UTC timestamps, which allows correct file synchronization across time zones.

Reset your Office 2007 Serial number

We have been working on various test systems here, and sometimes we use the wrong serial number for Office 2007 (One that we have on other systems that are used for work instead of testing). I only figure this after I have installed the whole package.

I wanted to find a way of simply entering a new serial number after the fact.

Office 2007 Cannot Activate

I researched to see if there was a way to update it without the reinstall…and it turns out it is actually not too hard.

You simply need to drill down to this registry key (As always backup your registry before messing with it):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0
\Registration\{90120000-0030-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}

If you see more than one GUID, and it does not match the one above…Look through each until you find one with the ProductName of Microsoft Office 2007

Once you find the appropriate registry key look for the two values ProductID, and DigitalProductID? Delete these.

Now run launch any office application, and you will be prompted for the new serial number.

Microsoft Office Serial Number Change Form

Now you can update the serial without waiting through a re-install.

Windows 7 is actually Windows XP?
