Microsoft Releases Leaked HotFixes

While there is no word yet on Vista SP1 or XP SP3, Microsoft has “officially” released two Windows Vista updates that “leaked” on to the Internet.

Microsoft released the two Windows Vista updates that had leaked to the Internet at the end of July on Tuesday but won’t say when it will begin pushing them to users via Windows Update.

Pegged as performance and reliability packs, the pair install a long list of non-security bug fixes, among them speed improvements to wake-from-hibernation, a patch that eliminates the long wait to calculate the time it will take to copy or move large directories, and several that target compatibility glitches with video drivers.

Microsoft even described one of the quashed bugs with the vague but ominous-sounding: “The computer stops responding or restarts unexpectedly when you play video games or perform desktop operations.”

How nice of them, huh? I wonder what else these “fixes” break?
