Microsoft released a number of updates for Vista on October 2nd. One of them was quite vague in it’s description: “An update is available that improves the compatibility, reliability, and stability of Windows Vista“. Of course the other updates had these same goals in mind, but they had a number of fixes related to the same feature. This one is a random gathering of fixes.
So what can you expect from this update?
- It extends the battery life for mobile devices.
- It improves the stability of portable computers and of desktop computers that use an uninterruptable power supply (UPS).
- It improves the reliability of Windows Vista when you open the menu of a startup application.
- It improves the stability of Internet Explorer when you open a Web page.
- It improves the stability of wireless network services.
- It shortens the startup time of Windows Vista by using a better timing structure.
- It shortens the recovery time after Windows Vista experiences a period of inactivity.
- It shortens the recovery time when you try to exit the Photos screen saver.
