Service Pack 2 includes all public updates, security updates, cumulative updates, and hotfixes that were released through February 2009. It is recommended that you have 5x to 6x the size of the package free to have a successful deployment; this has increased from the requirements needed for SP1.

Service Pack 2 has some areas of improvement. These include:

Faster more reliable content migration and data backup/restore

Reduced memory consumption

Smoother upgrade experience

Significant database performance adjustments

Updated integration for forms authentication

Advanced permissions management

Helpful administrative tools, which I will cover in a separate post

Expanded browser compatibility

One tool administrators should take note of is the Pre-Upgrade Checker, which ships in the service pack. This can be used to assess the server for potential upgrade issues you may run into when you are planning for the next version of WSS.

Service Pack 2 also adds host header-based site collection crawling for WSS, which was lacking in the product previously.

Service Pack 2 adds stsadm commands to help you list and delete site collections in your farm. Please review the following KB article for more information:
