It’s about time Microsoft owns up to a few of their many faults. Microsoft plans on rleasing a set of 3 updates that they say will cure many of the complaints they’re receiving about Vista. MS claims it will address some of the core issues such as performance, reliability, and the overall stability of the year old operating system.

Patch one will supposedly improve battery life on mobile devices, up the stability of wireless connections, and decrease the operating system’s response time following a period of idle or non-use.

Part two of the trio only pertains only to Vista Ultimate and Home Premium, and adresses the way Media Center interacts with the XBox 360 as an extension on the software.

Finally, a third patch changes the way Windows interacts with USB devices, specifically on waking the computer which Microsoft says causes 2% of crashes in Vista.

However, don’t expect these updates too soon. They’re due to be released along side Vista SP1 in the beginning of next year. But will us Ultimate users ever see our Ultimate Extras we paid so much extra for? I’d say MS is holding out on us, hoping we’d forget eventually, but something tells me we never will.
