I thought that some of the updates were inducing flakiness on my Vista. I 
decided that next time I upgrade, I'll stop turning off any optional updates 
off on the old OS as soon as the new OS comes out. I don't really need the 
half-assed cutting-edge Win7 stuff backported to my Vista.

Then I looked in the event log and saw hardware errors, so I ran a 
chkdsk/f/r overnight and haven't had a problem since. Kewl.
