When Is A Visaster Service Pack Not A Service Pack?

    Microsoft has released a "performance and reliability update" for Vista
    users who can't or won't install SP1. Now in its turn, there is
    a "performance and reliability update" for Vista users who DID install SP1.

    So what makes a "performance and reliability update" NOT a "service pack"?
    Does the "performance and reliaility update" turn SP1 into SP1a, or perhaps
    SP1.1 or SP1.01? And for those who didn't install SP1, are they now SP0.1?

    Why wouldn't/couldn't they install SP1 anyway? Surely after going all the
    way from XP to Vista, could a teentsy weentsy service pack really be all
    that scary?

    So why do we need a "performance and reliability update" for Visaster users
    who won't install SP1, then?

    It was already available months before SP1 came out.

    Why do you care, it's not like you'll ever touch it. Unless you're like those
    anti-porn protesters who despise it but can't keep away from it - just to inform
    everyone how "bad" it is of course, nudge nudge....
