Vista Finally Gets A Big Patch

By Robert | July 31, 2007

Well I think it is well over due, but it looks like Microsoft are preparing for a big patch of Vista very soon. Just because you can’t get the new updates through the Windows Live Update feature, it doesn’t mean it can’t be found else where. Reportedly, the the new release of the Vista Compatibility and Reliability Pack will contain a number of much needed fixes and speed increases in a variety of areas. The list is long but here are a few notables inclusions:

Increased compatibility with many video drivers.
Improved visual appearance of games with high intensity graphics.
Improved quality of playback for HD DVD and Blu-ray disks on large monitors.
Improved reliability for Internet Explorer when some third party toolbars are installed on Vista.
Improved reliability of systems that were upgraded from XP to Vista.
Resolves an issue where creating AVI files on Vista may get corrupted.
Improves the performance of Vista’s Memory Manager in specific customer scenarios and prevents some issues which may lead to memory corruption.

So if it is everything it is said to be, all Vista users should welcome the new improvements with open arms. This is a much needed fix up for Vista, and I’m sure it wont be the last.
