Windows Vista – A guide to Windows Vista service packs and updates

Windows Vista Drivers – What is it all about?

Released in January 2007 (November 2006 for volume licensing) Vista was the successor to the widely accepted and used Windows XP. Whilst it introduced several changes including bumped up security and better visuals, it fell flat with the initial audience claiming several compatibility casualties and cries for XP downgrades.

The highest market share registered for Vista was an estimated 20% in May 2010, going down to 11% in October 2011 as Windows 7 muscled its way in to mainstream computing.

This did not dither SoftwarePatch.com from pursuing Vista driver updates, even more so considering the somewhat sensitive nature drivers played within the Vista ecosystem.
