* You experience a long delay when you try to exit the Photos screen saver.
* A memory leak occurs when you use the Windows Energy screen saver.
* If User Account Control is disabled on the computer, you cannot install a network printer successfully. This problem occurs if the network printer is hosted by a Windows XP-based or a Windows Server 2003-based computer.
* When you write data to an AVI file by using the AVIStreamWrite function, the file header of the AVI file is corrupted.
* When you copy or move a large file, the "estimated time remaining" takes a long time to be calculated and displayed.

* The Diagnostic Policy Service (DPS) stops responding when the computer is under heavy load or when very little memory is available. This problem prevents diagnostics from working.

Why does the "Performance" patch look like a serious hotfix needed to get Vista to actually work.

Re: (Official from MS) Increase ur Vista gaming performance to match XP
Those so called "Performance" patches have slowed down my computer to a crawl! Whenever I do any file transfers (transfer a network file to my computer, transfer a 300Mb file between partitions, etc) Vista almost freezes because, I guess, it's using all it's resources to transfering the file. Everything becomes super sluggish and it forces me to wait till the file transfer is done. Performance pack my ass. Plus I still get frame stuttering every 3 seconds or so in games so MS didnt fix Toshiba's graphics stuttering issue.

Well I just installed the performance patch on my laptop and I got increased game performance and a higher 3dmark 06 score; from 3393 to 3580. It seems like these patches affect various systems very differently.
