Oh, nasty, what a lot of "reliability" and "stability" issues. I'll stick with 2003 a little longer.

Does anyone know if these changes are system code/kernel, display or driver fixes?

Download with caution!

this update caused my x64 vista home premium to not be able to boot up.

I had to load install dvd and use its repair function to fix it.

I installed the update, shutdown normally, let it install update, then when it tried to reboot i just get a continuous stuttering loading bar.

It may work for others, but all it did for me was crash my system
