Windows Vista Sub-Packs Form the Foundation for Service Pack

Two substantial collections of Windows Vista hotfixes leaked to the Internet after being offered to Windows Server 2008 beta testers this weekend, leading some users to speculate that the pair are actually the foundation of the future Service Pack 1 (SP1) release for the OS.
Vista Performance and Reliability Pack and Vista Compatibility and Reliability Pack are two fixes that Microsoft released to Windows 2008 beta testers. These updates include bug fixes which improve Vista’s hibernation or sleep resumption, speeds copying large files, improved memory stability, improved upgrade results from XP to Vista and improved compatibility with video drivers.
This is nothing but good news even if Microsoft is not admitting that these are foundations for Windows Vista Service Pack release. The fixes included for the beta testers are problems reported by so many users while using Windows Vista. We hope to see more updates like this and hopefully Windows Vista Service Pack would come out very soon.
Windows Service Pack 1 is about to come out. I havent had any real problems with Vista yet except for a few games, which I was able to get going with some tweaks. Hopefully the patch will fix some issues with the gaming. Auto disabling of Aero would be nice. So if you go into a 3D program or game it auto-disables Aero, that would be cool.
