It mainly consists of all the updates to sp2 in one package plus a couple of minor tweaks. Thwere are no new features.

I'm pretty sure I downloaded SP1 via Windows Update a while back.
I was hearing recently about a SP2 soon to come for Vista.

Vista SP2 coming soon? I seriously doubt it as SP1 was only released 2 months ago. Last I heard SP2 might be released about late 2009.
