It also includes IA64 as well

Installed on my work desktop fine. My laptop, it failed. Said something about not being able to write the files. M$ help was not much help.

Anybody getting a ton of free space after installing Vista SP2?

I had 3 gb free last night. I installed it and went to sleep.

This morning I turn on the computer to find 38 gb free.

I poked around online and found a quick article about it but it doesn't say why.

For some reason my Vista x64 partition was saying I was really low on space and I could never figure out why. I ran WinDirstat and it said my used disk space was way lower than Vista was saying but when I ran disk cleanup and deleted a couple gigs of space it also somehow fixed Vista's misreporting of my disk usage so it "freed" about 40gb of disk space but in reality it was only 2gb.
