Do I need to download SP2 and SP3 even though Windows Update updates my Vista regularly?
I bought a computer running Genuine Vista Home Premium w/SP1.
I have set Windows Update to download updates regularly--and it's downloaded quite a few so far. Do I still need to download SP2 and SP3 and install them myself manually? Or is Windows Update updating my system in an equivalent way? -- Steven L. Remove the "NOSPAM" before sending to this email address.

SP2 is still optional while that contains some improvements as well as certain fixes to improve performance as noticed by many who report that following the installation of the second service pack released earlier this year. There is no SP3 for Vista however. You may be confusing that with the 3rd service pack for XP released in late 2008. You can download SP2 separately and create a new system restore point prior to installing the service pack. Due to it's it will take a good part of an hour to complete installation but is worth having on.  -- Night Hawk
