Vista Patches?

Some of you will have noticed some vista patches coming through today.

It looks like there are 5 patches, 2 important, 2 recommended and one optional.

KB933360	Daylight Saving Time changes.	Important	28/8/07
KD939159	resolve an issue in the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)	Important	28/8/07
KB938194	This update resolves some compatibility and reliability issues in Windows Vista	Recommended	Today (30/8)
KB938979	This update resolves some performance and reliability issues in Windows Vista	Recommended	25/8/07
AMD Patch for ATI	Potential vulnerability in the CATALYST installer component.	Optional	25/8/07

NOTE: The readers are reporting the AMD patch also applies to XP, likewise 933360.

Also a reboot required, but then it would be unusual if it didn't.

A reader (thanks Dan) also mentioned this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894199/en-us. which seems to be a good synopsis of the patches deployed. Might be a good spot to check patch Tuesday stuff.

Cheers
