Anyone have it up and running?

SP2 disabled the Home Premium Remote Desktop hack.

Simply running the bat file again did the trick.

I have automatic update enabled and I don't see mention of Vista SP2 in any of the update files. Can't find it to manually download either. Where did you guys get it?

It is full release - auto update will probably take a while.

To force it, hit the update button in the Security Center and once the prerequisit updates are complete it will come down.

Is this a 32 bit update or a 64 bit one?

Both - the 64 bit SP is almost twice as big.

Randy,
It's a full release. download it from Microsoft's website and give it 1 hr to download/install/reboot.
