I've been running Vista for some time now, since 24th, and right away there were some updates available. These below are all of the updates Vista currently installed from 24th of January, 2007 - 1st of February, 2007.
Some were expected and highly awaited, like the two Windows Vista Ultimate Extras and one update, but we also got couple of patches and enhancements as well, so here are all of them:
- NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400 driver has been updated
- Mail Junk Filter for January 2007
- Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool update for January 2007
- Three Definition updates for Windows Defender (1.14.2120.1 / 1.15.2220.1 / 1.15.2224.9)
- Update for Windows Vista (KB931573) - Fixes an issue where you may be prompted to activate Windows Vista on a computer on which Windows Vista activation was not previously required.
- Update for Windows Vista (KB929427) - Fixes some of the know application compatibility issues with Vista.
- Update for Windows Vista (KB928089) - Fixes a performance issue with Internet Explorer Phishing Filter when visiting pages with multiple frames.
- Update for Windows Vista (KB930857) - Fixes an issue with Windows Error Reporting that may cause some information about application errors to be sent to Microsoft without notifying you.
- Update for Windows Vista (KB929685) - Fixes an issue of High Definition Audio Devices from initializing after system resumes from sleep, hibernation or stand by.
- Update for Windows Vista (KB929735) - Fixes an issue where you may not find the file that you want when you use Advanced Search to search by date if you use a non-Gregorian calendar format in Windows Vista.
- [Ultimate Only] Update for Windows Vista (KB929327) - DreamScene Package
- [Ultimate Only] BitLocker and EFS enhancements -The Windows Ultimate Extra includes two tools that make it easier to use some of the security features that come with Windows Vista Ultimate: Windows BitLocker Drive Preparation Tool, and Secure Online Key Backup for your BitLocker recovery key and EFS certificates.
- [Ultimate Only] Hold 'Em Poker Game
Make sure you keep the system Up to Date, but then even if you do not - you can always find out here when the updates come out. Do note, these are 32bit Version updates. I bet there are some other different ones streaming for the 64bit versions, so if you are in that camp - you better check out Windows Update directly.
I wonder how many of these small patches we are going to receive before the first Service Pack kicks in ... Any guesstimates?

Dave, I actually found DreamScene somewhere on-line (I guess ThePirateBay.com lol) around 24th of January and Installed it... I figured, it's legal cuz it's free and it works just on Vista ... I would upload it on the site for you to download but I cannot find it anywhere ... I deleted it once I saw it was available on the Windows Update on my computer :(
It should be available in the Windows update for you too, but if it is not yet - then it will be some time in February... To tell you the truth you are not missing much since the only file I got with it was some stupid low-res video so if you wait I bet Msoft will pack up with it a bunch of cool videos we all saw on their desktops during the last month.
Also, just to make sure - as you probably know - it is only available for Ultimate edition of Vista.
Also, try instructing Windows Update to search once again...
If this does not help, go to Programs and Features in Control Panel, click on Turn Windows Features On/Off, and then see in the end under Ultimate Extras what has been installed.
If I find it, I'll upload it ...
