Microsoft Updates Vista Before Roll-out: Page 2 of 2

"The bottom line is that, with Vista, as with any new platform, early buyers of new Vista machines should expect that there will be a few rough spots to be worked through during the next few weeks, and they will need to stay connected to both Microsoft and their PC maker," Kleynhans said.

Vista users can retrieve any necessary updates via the operating system's built-in Windows Update feature. Alternately, they can download them from the Microsoft Web site.

The first scheduled security updates after the consumer release of Vista are pegged for Feb. 13.
