    It does fix a lot of bugs, reliability issues in the original release of Vista. If you have any problems, just use System Restore. Make sure you have enough disk space before updating to ensure that Vista does actually create new restore points.

    Well if you think that fixing security leaks, speeding up file transfers and overall system performance improvements are useful, yeah.

    Yep well worth updating to, and i would recommend when Service pack 2 for vista is released that you update to that too.
    In Progress!!!
