Yep...installed fine.

Unlike previous OS service packs, Vista service packs have to be installed in order (the patches are not cumulative). You have to have SP1 already installed before you can install SP2.

I'm not too familiar with Vista as I just got my laptop and it's the first time I've used it. I installed SP2 last week and it seems to be working...fine. I haven't really noticed a difference though. :shrug:
