About SQL Server SP2

I’ve been on top of the recent release of SQL Server 2008 SP2 just because Microsoft send a TechNet Newsletter announcing that SQL Server 2008 R2 ‘SQL Server 2008 SP2’ was released.  Well, as you know by now, they have corrected the mistake.  Again, SQL Server 2008 SP2 is ONLY for SQL Server 2008 and NOT R2.
