Microsoft Releases Vista Fixes

On Tuesday Microsoft released several performance and reliability fixes for Windows Vista.  These fixes are precursors to a Service Pack 1 release that is rumored to come this fall. 

I have not yet been able to tinker much with a Vista system.  I have set two machines up and I am impressed with the graphics (if you get an enhanced graphics card) and the gadgets, or widgets, or whatever they want to call them.  The screen resolution was great and I do enjoy the desktop more than XP.  That said it is a bulky, and at times, slow system.  Hopefully these fixes address some of that performance.

I have a brand spanking new machine waiting for me to use and install Vista but I just have not had the time as yet.  Since it is a new machine, and I have XP on it, I wanted to test a Vista upgrade, a clean Vista install and a 64-bit Vista install on this box.  Once completed I will share my thoughts on the process and offer any tips for those considering a Vista upgrade in the future.

Thanks for reading!
