I was excited to read about all the fixes in the upcoming Vista Performance and Reliability Pack and the Vista Compatibility and Reliability Pack. However, part way into reading the list of fixes I started to get worried:

• Resolves an issue where creating AVI files on Vista may get corrupted.
• Resolves an issue where synchronization of offline files to a server can get corrupted.
• Improves the performance of Vista’s Memory Manager in specific customer scenarios and prevents some issues which may lead to memory corruption.

WTF? You mean the software I'm running can corrupt various files that I actively use via features in the OS?

Man, maybe next time I will wait for SP1. I'm especially concerned about the "synchronization of offline files to a server can get corrupted." since I use offline files to cache my Pictures on 2 different computers.

I'm also delighted for these specific items:

• Increased reliability and performance of Vista when entering sleep and resuming from sleep.
• Improved reliability when working with external displays on a laptop.
• Improves the performance when copying or moving entire directories containing large amounts of data or files.
• Improves the performance in calculating the ‘estimated time remaining’ when copying/moving large files.
• Improves performance in bringing up Login Screen after resuming from Hibernate.

These issues above cause me daily pain.
