Surprisingly, Windows Update appears to be working today (September 26) on Windows Vista (and reportedly also on XP). If you need to update a recent installation, my advice is to ACT FAST! Speed-up patches are presumably still needed for Vista.

Hi Abzyx & VolumeZ,
Thanks for the timely information / Alert. My Vista PC got updated hassle free. Now I see a Green Tick on Windows Update - No New / Important Updates (something like that). It gives me a great relief. It seems that after all MS is going to keep Win Update services ON for quite some more time ...... lets hope for LIFETIME!

Hello VistaTime,
Im glad you updated your Vista promptly! Unfortunately, it looks like M$ has already shut down Windows Update again...

Hi Abzyx,
You don't have to watch Windows Update on daily basis.
I am sure..... MS will keep Windows Update ON at least for some time ... once in a month for WinXP and Vista.
Too many users ..... for a limited number of servers at MS.
So Keep Calm and wait for your turn!
Tell me if I am wrong..... 
!

Hello VistaTime,
Im afraid you are probably wrong - in fact you may have been the very last person ever to update Vista by means of Windows Update.

Hi Abzyx,
Is it so? 
Then someone please tell me how to make a clone? What freeware for cloning is best on Vista, etc.?

Hello VistaTime,
Excellent question! I would suggest Macrium Reflect Free for making images or clones, and I am sure that Imacri would agree. This was discussed on page 3 of the nearby thread, A request for advice regarding setting up a sensible basic build with Vista.
