Microsoft's not waiting for SP1 to release reliability and performance fixes for Vista. You can now download a fix for certain STOP errors relating to hibernation or standby modes, and, as a bonus, get up to 15% faster performance in large disk I/O. Read KB943899 to learn more and get links to the updates for both 32-bit and 64-bit Vista editions. A second reliability update that addresses portable computer resume issues, error code 0x8007000b, and media playback problems is available from KB946041 for both 32-bit and 64-bit Vista editions.
If you're using Windows Mail on either 32-bit or 64-bit Vista editions, be sure to grab the February update for its Junk E-Mail filter, available from KB905866.
Media Center fans, especially those using the Xbox 360 as a Media Center extender, will want to install the February 2008 Cumulative Update for Media Center for Windows Vista, available from KB947172 for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, or via Windows update.
For links to Patch Tuesday's security updates for Windows Vista, XP, 2000, and Windows Server 2003, go to the updated Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for February 2008.
