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.

"I gotta disagree with that, when a distro updates after install, it's downloading all sorts of fixes, not just new functionality or security updates, they are for all sorts of issues, and if you think otherwise, you are living in a dream.
No software is perfect, especially Vista, but to look at Linux with rose coloured glasses is just not healthy."
Eh?
The issue with Vista is that you are either of the opinion that Vista...is ready...or its not.
Its quite clearly that the launch was rushed. The only think you can say is should Microsoft had waited *longer* to launch, or is Vista *good enough* now.
This is very different from Linux where a release happens every 3 Months and *only* critical patches done as an incremental release.
If you are talking about a distribution you are *not* talking about the *OS* you are talking thousands of programs. A distribution evolves. It is not released periodically say every *5 Years*.
