Im slightly interested on what people think of the vista fixes that came out this October (see Paul's blog), what do you think?

I personally think that they seem to just make the whole thing a lot more stable (but no big performance increase unlike the july ones), but my keyboard still does not stop resetting itself, causing long liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiists (like that) when it crashes, then takes a good 10s to start up again. Oh well :(

After adding the fixes to my Fujitsu Notebook (Model A3040), I've noticed subtle increase in the performance of Vista. Webpages are coming up faster, startup for Vista was slightly faster, and I'm noticing the nimbleness that I saw when this notebook had XP Home Edition. To me, this is a kudos for Microsoft to shut up the hundreds of Vista haters. Their chief complaint is that Vista is another Windows: Millenium Edition. I think that type of criticism is completely off the mark.

So far, tweaking and fixing Vista issues have been rather easy. Except for my desktop which had a few BSOD's when updating to Ultimate edition, Vista's performance has been flawless. Even on this notebook while having an AMD Turion 64 processor, was OEM with XP Home. It has adapted quite nicely to Vista and both of my systems use only 1 GB of memory. Both now have graphics cards with their own memory.

Keep up the good work, Microsoft. Vista might be the finest OS since Windows 2000.

Hmm, I havent noticed any speed differences you said, but your right about the nimbleness (its slightly better, XP was starting to feel WAY too fast, and a bit like an empty shell when compared to Vista). 

I feel that it did make the operating system more responsive and reliable in some area's. Also i think alot has to do with the spects of your computer. Depending on what your computer spect's are may affect what improvments you will experience.
