and you care about getting faster updates why?

#1.2 +M2Ys4U on 28 Jun 2007 - 01:39

I agree this is kinda odd.

Faster updates != better updates

#1.3 +Smigit on 28 Jun 2007 - 10:35

Doesnt mean worse updates either. Theres no point holding them for two weeks until the second Tuesday if they have all been tested. For all we know they were aimed at the last patch Tuesday but were held back.

#1.4 gandolas on 28 Jun 2007 - 18:04

Usually the Patch-Tuesday is for Critical (Security) hotfixes.

#2 Aaron44126 on 27 Jun 2007 - 22:33

One more.

vista is really buggy

#3.1 HawkMan on 27 Jun 2007 - 23:18

ah ys, XP, *nix distros and OSX NEVER have updates, they're perfect on the first release and there are never updates or bugifxes or security fixes to these other OS'...

go back in your troll cave

Yes, it is REAL buggy. Had it on 2 of my systems for 2 days. Blew them off and reinstalled XP Pro. Couldn't stand nothing working, including some of MS's own crap. Can't believe for a minute after all the delays and stuff with Vista, they actually released the POS as it is! But then, I saw it coming!!

Are you being sarcastic? Cause seriously it's easily the best a Windows OS has been at release.

You my freind are an idiot, he just said vista is real buggy, something almost everyone that has used it agrees with, we all know the other oses had/hjave issues his point was vista is rather bad at it, so i suggest you go join him in the troll cave

#3.6 whocares78 on 28 Jun 2007 - 05:14

you must be being sarcastic, it has over 1000 security updates already. it is nowhere near as good as 2000 was when it was released, it is in fact almost as bad as ME and a lot of poeple in the know agree

#4 Evolution on 27 Jun 2007 - 23:35

3/7 applicable updates were already released on patch tuesday, but it's nice to have access to the patches instead of having to wait till tuesday.

Thank you, this was driving me crazy.

In another couple of months, Vista might be as stable as Longhorn 4074!

Your username and your intelligence are polar opposites.

Soon they will release a patch to make Vista actually work.....

As for not releasing this on patch tuesday - they are not security patches.

Strange but good as well.
Must be a lot of idiots out there that cant deal with something new. I find Vista to be rock solid and only needing a good rubbing in certain areas. Only issues I have come upon have been drivers for certain hardware. Thats not MS problem.

#9.1 Popcorned on 28 Jun 2007 - 19:35

Same. Crashes a lot less than XP ever did.

#9.2 EduardValencia on 28 Jun 2007 - 20:11

In fact XP doesen't crash on me,and never did,Vista,it's just more perfect than XP,that's all

#9.3 ziadoz on 29 Jun 2007 - 12:58

I find Vista to be excellent. All the comparisons being drawn to ME are daft. Its a huge improvement over XP and once its been out for a few years many of those whiners will be using it and calling the next version of Windows a turkey instead!
