This update will not work for those who have installed
SP1 RC1. According to Nick White, it will be included in
SP1 RTM.

At the Vista blog, I saw three users post that the update
didn't go well... use with caution and with a full backup
available. Or, you might have to reinstall. I have applied
this update on two Vista machines and I have encountered
no problems. I've installed SP1 RC1 on another computer,
and this update will not install as others stated on the Vista
blog.

Isn't everything about Vista just one big "preview phase"?

But, you are correct to remind users of this little gem.
These Vista "reliability" updates have been like that
from the beginning.... they appreciate the guinea pigs.

However, Microsoft certainly doesn't point that out at this link;

I noticed that on the download page of this update
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=943899) there are two versions of this
update:
one for Vista 32-bit version and the other one for Vista 64-bit version

I know that my computer came with Vista premium, but how could I tell if
it's the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version? any suggestions?

thanks

Right click "Computer" and look under the "System" section. Mine says
"System type: 32-bit Operating System".

That should have been right click "Computer" then go to "Properties" then
look under the "System" section.
