Finally, he update i wanted was eventually released on Windows Update. I downloaded it last weekend and to be honest at first i didn't notice any change. i was gutted. then i stopped looking and started to notice one or two things.
Firstly my major problem with Vista is that it is too heavy on the RAM. I mean atleast 65-70% of RAM goes into just keeping the laptop idle. Since updating though i have found that its now gone down as far as 50%. i've never seen 50% ever on it! Also the demands on the processor have significantly lessened.
Secondly, the power consumption seems to have slowed, i can now get a good hour with a few internet windows open and be playing games, or uploading photos. This is a major bonus especially in college.
A new feature with the update is the ability to selec which drive to fragment. previously this was not possible and it was a case of all or nothing. Its a nice touch.
At the end of January I wrote a blog about what should be in Vistas new update. Apart from the Gadget clean up, which has nothing to do with Vista, everything i could hope for was provided. Even checking for updates now takes place more regularly.
