just after I booted up.

I noticed that too. I looked them up one by one. One of them has no English explanation, at least as of about 2 hours ago.

Where any of them the performance and compatibility patch that was supposed to fix a few issues?

 

[Noema]

Tasty! D/L'ing now.

As for the performance, reliability and compatibility patches, they are not in WU yet, djnes, but you can get them via MS as mentioned in this thread.

Well it seems same story is for XP and Vista 32-bit...so much about vista being completely new design.

Wow you clearly haven't bothered to read the bulletins.

I count 4 critical updates for Vista, three of which are separate versions of XML Core Services

I count 8 critical updates for XP, three of which are separate versions of XML Core Services

Comparing the updates for XP and Vista, most of the ones that are critical on XP either do not apply at all to Vista or are a lower severity.

Just a word of warning but I had to do a system restore after these updates. First my network connectivity was broken (link OK but TCP/IP totally dead) and later the whole computer/UI froze while investigating.

nForce 590 SLI AMD chipset with built-in network adapters. Both Virtual PC 2007 and MS Netmon 3.1 installed which might have been reasons as they include additional network services. Would've just been rather strange if MS didn't test the updates with their own software.

I installed both on Vista Enterprise x64, and so far so good. It definitely seems to finish the boot processes and login scripts faster.
