This time around I'd like to talk about social networking. We'll start with social networking. Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter are all good examples of using technology to let Regards Paul. Pooja, I haven't spotted any serious issues with SP4, but I'll admit that I see fewer and fewer instances at all as time goes on.

Most of the environments I deal with are on or newer. I'd say plan for 20 minutes — but be prepared for an hour just in case. Thanks Chris, I'd still like to see what are the consequences of not applying SP1.

Dig deeper, folks or just try it. Once again Microsoft has fooled you by being lackadaisical in ensuring their documentation is consistent. They probably pulled a lot of this content from a similar page for R2, and nobody has noticed the slip-up yet. And Windows Server isn't supported anymore too. At this point only SP4 really has to be supported to the mainstream support for the product as a whole. This doesn't account for extended and premier of course.

And yes, I realize that's not what you're saying Chris, but that's certainly what the release notes sound like to me. And actually I've already had a private e-mail asking if they actually have to buy visual studio licenses in order to install SP4 on their servers.

The wording is horribly misleading and I hope it gets cleaned up quickly. It would be great if the release notes went into more detail and described exactly what they mean. I'm not sure what the consequences are, but I installed SP4 on several instances and have yet to see an issue where I needed to install Visual Studio.
