Microsoft released SP2 for it latest and greatest version of Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).

You can find a more detailed description of the update here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972455

The most important feature is probably the integration with up and coming versions of Windows like 2008 R2 and Windows 7. Without WSUS support, it would be hard for many organizations to deploy these new Windows versions.

One improvement that caught my attention:

At first, if you think about it, an IPv6 address can have up to 39 characters if you represent it as 2001:0db8:1111:2222:3333:4444:5555:6666 (8*2 digits + 7 colons). However, it is also possible to add a netmask like /128 or /64, which will exceed the size limit of 40 characters. I find little issues like this to be typical gotchas in organizations converting to IPv6.

There are no critical "must install today" features as far as I can tell in this release. Test it carefully and deploy once ready.
