By applying this update, you can achieve better performance and responsiveness in various scenarios. This update also improves the reliability of Windows Vista.

 

This update resolves the following issues on a Windows Vista-based computer:

• 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.

• When you write data to an AVI file by using the AVIStreamWrite function, the file header of the AVI file is corrupted.

• When you synchronize an offline file to a server, the offline file is corrupted.
  
• If you edit an image file that uses the RAW image format, data loss occurs in the image file. This problem occurs if the RAW image is from any of the following digital SLR camera models: • Canon EOS 1D, • Canon EOS 1DS

• After you resume the computer from hibernation, the computer loses its default gateway address.
  
• Poor memory management performance occurs.

 

PS: Da ich im Longhorn Beta Programm bin, hab ich die beiden Patches schon seit einige Tage früher erhalten u. konnte bisher auf meiner eigenen Vista Maschine keine Probleme nach dem Update feststellen.

 

Performance-Verbesserungen hab sich auf meiner Vista Ultimate Maschine subjektiv auch nicht gezeigt, war aber zu erwarten, da meine Maschine auch vorher einwandfrei lief.

Einen interesannten Artikel zur Auswirkung der Patches habe ich noch gefunden.

 

AeroXperience - KB938979 to Fix File Transfer Woes. No, really. - Windows

 

Beim kopieren größerer Files soll durch den Patch angeblich eine mehr als doppelte so schnelle Datenübertragungsrate erzielt werden.

die datenübertragung ist meines erachtens nicht doppelt so schnell - die vor- und nachbereitung des datentransfers wurde aber beschleunigt. macht dann summe summarum eine kürzere übertragungszeit und kann leicht mit schnellerer datenübertragung verstanden werden.

Habe die Updates jetzt auch drauf, gab keine Probleme. Dass sich irgendwas verbessert hätte, habe ich aber auch nciht bemerkt.

[Dagobert1984 10]

bei uns gibt es seit gestern den "zuviel gesoffen Effekt".

Die Benutzer beim Anmeldebildschirm tauchen doppelt auf, statt zwei sind es jetzt vier. Sehr interessantes Phänomen. Das verursachende Update scheint laut google KB938979 zu sein. Scheinbar kann es dadurch auch zu Problemen mit Fingerabdruckssensoren kommen...

 

Updates werden automatisch geholt.

 

Wunderbar :suspect: ;)
