Don’t wait for SP1, get these updates while they’re hot
By James Stables on 08 August 2007

Microsoft has released a series of updates for Windows Vista, designed to improve system performance.

There are updates available for x32 and x64 systems, to fix reliability and performance issues.

The fixes are available on the Microsoft web site, and will be released through Windows Update in the near future. However, those eagerly awaiting SP1 will probably want to snap them up now so here they are.

Windows Vista x64

Windows Vista x32

Despite the updates Service Pack 1 rumours are still rife, with more speculation about build numbers and secretive beta releases. I wouldn’t hold your breath.
