| I found a great list of Pre-SP1 hotfixes for Windows Vista at Aaron Tiensivu's Blog. If you are like me and not a real fan of the Windows Update site and all the red tape etc that you have to go thru in order to just get updates that you should have fair and easy access to. You might want to also check out the "AutoPatcher" site. There they have most of these fixes available and it is alot less complicated to get your computer updated. These fixes are broken down into handy intelligible categories as follows on Aaron's site: - · Add-ons
- · Core OS
- · Core OS subcomponents
- · IDE/SATA
- · Networking
- · Multimedia
- · USB
Here is the section that I found especially interesting and necessary. the Core OS section: Core OS
