IE-8 a prerequisite to SP-2?

(Running Vista Ultimate 64-bit.)

My system is up to date, except that I have not downloaded
and installed IE-8. MS has not offered me SP-2 via the
automatic update process. Is there a connection between
those facts? Must I download and install IE-8 in order to
be offered SP-2 via the automatic update process?

If not, I wonder has SP-2 been offered to all Vista users
yet?

Insight appreciated.

SP2 has not yet hit AU/WU yet, though it is available to be manually
downloaded. A quick Google search will reveal the date it will hit AU/WU if
you are interested.

SP2 will be rolled out gradually.

Check again... I got mine via AU last Tuesday!

Then I went to the MS download page and downloaded it for a friend who
is still on dialup.

Yes i would suggest having all
important updates installed pre/sp2 although i succesfully installed sp2
without any problems a couple of days ago and i did and do not have IE8
installed, it is still hidden in my windows updates. hope this answers
your initial question. all the best and wish you smooth sailing with
your download and install

Post that three or four more times, just in case.

 

I suspect he read, "phased out" instead of, "rolled out".

Stop with the pushing of Win7 RC. IT EXPIRES JUNE 2010!! Why on earth
would the general user want to dump their Vista installation for
something that expires next year? Get a grip dude.

G'day

Doubtful when you consider that IE8 is available for XP.

Patience is a virtue. You can download it from Micro$lut.com if you're
in a hurry.
