I remeber a few months back, Microsft said something about there was going to be a performanc improvment coming for DX11....

Since then, I have heard absolutly nothing regarding this....

I think this is what I was talking about:

1 SP1 keeps failing.
2 Tells me to install System Update Readiness thing.
3 System Update Readiness thing says it's installed, but doesn't seem to run or do anything else.
4 goto 1

I read today, that there are a few prerequisites, before you try to install sp1. Make sure you install all the stuff it offers (important) before installing sp1.

For me, iv stayed uptodate with the updates, so my sp1 download is ony 86mb...

Why are they named "windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe" and not "windows7-KB976932-X64.exe"???

Of the top of my head I think 6 is either (vista or server 2008) and 6.1 is Windows 7.... something along those lines anyway...

Its not 7 becuase vista and Win7 are based of the same kernal as the server os.
