I feel that the system runs a bit faster. Would recommend

its weird that this is on the microsoft site yet when i search for updates through windows update it finds nothing????

According to WinBeta.org,


"Microsoft is promising to make the two new Vista fix packs available via Windows Update at a “later date.” The full statement, provided by a Microsoft spokeswoman:

“The two updates will be available on Microsoft’s download center today, and will be available through Windows Update at a later date.”

very good! system runs a bit faster!

the 2 new Vista patches from microsoft, for better performance and compatibility, are available for download (genuine check), directly from Microsoft...but not on Windows update...

Don't use this Windows Vista patch (KB938979) if you have used any patch to change your tcpip.sys to increase your maximum incomplete concurrent connection attempts limit per second.

It will break your internet connection!!
