Since several comments is left to ask how to know whether a fix can be applied to Windows Vista or Server 2008, a blog is post here to help finding identify information about that.
For Windows XP Professional x64 XP or Windows Server 2003, whether a fix can be applied into it is judged from the name of the fix. But it’s not so obvious for Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008. The information to judge it is including in a .txt file expending from the .msu files of this fix. Following is the steps to get this information.

What an easy way to find out if that patch applies to your Vista or Windows 2008 system ;)

And here I stupidly thought the patch would do a system requirement check and not install on ineligible systems. Leaving it to the user to figure out which patch to apply virtually guarantees a lot of users won't bother for fear of screwing up their systems.
