I think this shows that you either do not ever use Windows or have never
applied a service pack to your Windows :-)
Wrong on all accounts. I do use Vista occasionally and whenever I boot it up I always update it to date including the service pack if there is one. And I think you are referring to Karl rather than me. I use Karmic 64 bit up-to-date, latest kernel and the latest nVidia driver on the repos. There is an issue with low res on every boot to either partition but I manage to get around it on every boot. Probably will try the new -190 driver soon as Karmic is still buggy. I also have 2 Karmic partitions with essentially the same apps installed and each performs differently regarding X windows using the same nVidia-glx-185 driver. That's buggy in my opinion.
Did you have something to contribute regarding the issue?
