I was confused too. But you may download and install
Windows6.0-KB952627-x86.MSU. You will get Hyper-V manager from Start->Administrative Tools.

Dano, I am quite aware of that. But some news sites reported in December that Hyper-V will run on Vista.

If you read the information more closely you would have discovered that SP2 is not just for Vista, but rather Vista/Server 2008. So, there are Hyper-V updates included. They just don’t apply to Vista, since Vista does not run Hyper-V.

Yeah there must some connection to SP2. I wonder how something like this can happen. Do the developers upload the files themselves?

I think the symbols are for debugging purposes, when using the Debugging Tools for Windows. This is just my guess though, so don’t quote me I don’t believe that download (the Vista SP2 symbols) is the actual service pack.
