The discussion should end with the release of both patches on the official Microsoft website. The compatibility and reliability patch has a file size of about two megabytes while the performance and reliability one of about 10 megabytes. Both patches are available for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista and can only be downloaded from the Microsoft website if your system is genuine.

I suggest you head out immediately and install both patches if you run Windows Vista. Those who have already installed the leaked patches should probably uninstall them and install the correct versions to be on the safe side.

It is then possible to execute this program and apply all patches that have been released by Microsoft at once without connecting to the Microsoft server at all.

This is in my opinion the best and easiest way to patch your operating system if you do not want to use the automatic update feature and do not want to connect to servers from Microsoft at all. Normally so called core versions and full versions are released but due to the changed at the original Autopatcher website only core versions are available.

Core means that only patches of a certain month are offered while full means that the package contains all patches that have been released for that operating system.

It is possible to currently download the core June patches for Windows Vista 32 and 64 bit and Windows 2000 / XP 64-bit only.

A core release for XP 32-bit will surely follow soon after.
