All known bugs will be fixed. It's a roll-up of all previous security updates, as well. No major feature changes/additions, but I hear there are some very minor ones.

I don't seem to have any problems with vista, ever since I got it. But thats prolly because I install the updates, does installing the updates slow down your computer?

Nope, installing updates do not slow you down.

yes, but as long as your not installing and uninstalling files on a day to day basis all of your files will stay in the correct order... its when you don't uninstall something completely that it splits on a new fresh install.

Man, I'm amazed some of the glitches that they let get by on Vista. For example, the file decompressors doesn't work. How on earth do you not notice that Zip files wont unzip? That is a huge blunder. There is some other stuff like, for example, /sfc scan doesn't work in a lot of cases, and the old .NET framework screws up some of the updates.

Thats not true, when you install a program or even put a Cd onto your computer it doesn't all go to the same place, they are all over the place, like on part could be on one of the sectors, and the other part of it could be on another. When you defragment your hard drive it puts all of the files closer together.

wrong, from the box your computer will put things in order its when you start deleting things that it starts to put thing in different sectors etc... you can search it on the net, disk defragment makes no difference really... maybe in older computers but not in newer ones.
