I don't know about this operating system... I am really beginning to wonder why they ever released it. And with all these updates will there be anything left for the SP1 to even address?
Here are some of the issues the updates have addressed so far:
* When you copy or move a large file, the "estimated time remaining" takes a long time to be calculated and displayed.
* The screen may go blank when you try to upgrade the video driver.
* The computer stops responding, and you receive a "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" error message.
* A memory leak occurs when you use the Windows Energy screen saver.
* If User Account Control is disabled you cannot install a network printer.
* You experience a long delay when trying to exit the Photos screen saver.
* It takes your computer a long time to show the logon screen after resuming from hibernation.
* Extended battery life on mobile devices
* Improved stability of computers that use a UPS
* Improves reliability when opening a startup application menu
* Improves wireless network service stability
* Shortens startup time
* Shortens recovery time after a period of inactivity
* Fixes a compatibility issue with some third-party anti-virus apps
The latest update comes in two varieties: an x86 download and an x64 download.
Update for Windows Vista (KB941649)
Update for Windows Vista for x64-based Systems (KB941649)
At the bottom of each page is a list of past updates if you need them.

By default, with large files, it leaves a copy behind when you move it, that has to be configured to turn off.

xp does that.

I get that all the time, lately when I try to capture video it does that more times than not.

You can't install anything, you have to be in admin and then there is a whole new set of problems. Like my convertx software intervideo, it won't work because one of three drivers failed to install.

Mine does boot up the exact amount of time as xp. Probably gain 10000th of a second.
