Microsoft released several updates to Windows Vista Monday, the day before the new operating system debuted for consumers and landed on retail shelves. None of the updates were security fixes. The five updates for the 32-bit version of Vista - one was immediately replaced Tuesday with an update to the update - fix difficulties installing the OS on PCs with more than 3GB of memory, troubles connecting with a VPN server, and performance problems with Internet Explorer 7 and its anti-phishing feature. The largest of the five updates, however, is one that addresses incompatibility issues for a host of applications and games.

name me a few areas where windows is WAY ahead of Linux... the only thing I can think of is the graphics stack. But the basic desktop in Vista is still lightyears behind the usability of Gnome and KDE (I expected vista to fix the mousewheel, but it still doesn't do much, drag'n'drop is still broken etc). And the Vista kernel isn't much ahead in most areas. Search integration isn't what it could be (tough it's slightly ahead of Linux). etc.
Vista is ahead in some areas, but nothing which won't be fixed in less than a year...

There are MANY areas (mostly all relating to usability) where Windows is WAY ahead of Linux.
Also, it's not like the Kubuntu guys are doing anything other than packaging this stuff.
