Windows Vista updates
I installed these two Windows Vista updates last night. I haven’t noticed any differences yet. That’s a good thing. I wasn’t sure if I should take the plunge so quickly or not, however, after a reboot everything seems to still be working fine. I’m most interested in whether these updates fix some Sleep and Hibernate issues. It looks like it’s supposed to, which if so, will make my Vista expreience so much better.
Oh, and by the way, the Vista printer driver for the HP Color LaserJet 3550N is online now and appears to be working well. You can’t use Windows Update to install it. It’s not there yet. You’ll need to download the driver from HP directly and then select the “Have Disk” option when installing.
Now that I have access to my printer again in Vista and I can rely on Hibernate (hopefullly) working, I’m feeling even better about Vista right now. Oh, and on the developer side, Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 has made huge improvements too. I’m feeling like the ducks are getting in a row again at Microsoft.
