If you are still on the hunt for Christmas gifts and not currently pinned underneath a mother of three in a dogpile in the mall, you probably won’t have much luck getting anything to your gift recipient before the holidays. Your only hope is probably giving them something like an Amazon.com gift card–perfect if you are not sure what to get or if you just can’t afford the overnight shipping. Check them out by following the link below:

Amazon.com Gift Cards

And no, this post was not done only because I am an Amazon.com Associate and get commission–but if it was, would you blame me? I truly do recommend the gift cards. Check them out.

Service Pack 1 is on the way.

While I wait for the big fixes, Microsoft did release an update today that offered a number of fixes for Vista, and along with this update, several third-party software and drivers have been updated to improve at least my own Vista experience. ATI issued a new update for my video card as well, and Logitech put out a new version of SetPoint for my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse that kept it from interfering with Vista–and causing me a huge pain by making me have to constantly approve Logitech to check for updates.

Only time will tell, but according to testing, this might be the beginning of my system running a bit faster and being less Vista-y.

If you are running Vista as well, make sure you click Windows Update and download it all. If you asked me, this update couldn’t come soon enough, and I hope the various elements of my computer that have not appreciated my installation of Vista to get over their stuck up attitude.

Fingers crossed that Service Pack 1 continues the fixes.
