Windows Vista only: As we mentioned earlier today, Microsoft is releasing/has released Windows Vista Service Pack 1 to Windows Update today.
The update, which promises several improvements to Vista, is available either through Windows Update or through direct downloads from Microsoft (linked below).
While it seems that SP1 is taking its sweet time showing up for many people in Windows Update, the 32- and 64-bit standalone installers are available now.
If you give the update a go, let’s hear what improvements stand out and how you’re liking them in the comments.

The as-yet unreleased second iteration of iPhone hardware may already be compromised, reports Engadget and News.com.
Members of the ‘iPhone Dev Team’ have (supposedly) made use of the recently released SDK to gin up a Beta 2.0 software hack.
“Unlike previous hacks, this one isn’t specific to the latest firmware version, it exploits the way that Apple designed the iPhone’s main bootloader.
According to the iPhone Dev Team, the iPhone verifies whether or not firmware code has been signed with an RSA certificate before allowing it to be written to memory.
The team has apparently figured out a way to disable that check and allow unsigned code to be written to memory.”
Now, a beer launching fridge I can understand, but a tennis ball cannon?
I find it amusing when someone spends a tremendous amount of time and effort building something that can automate basic functions—like throwing a tennis ball to a wiener dog.
But the results speak for themselves.
It is an inspiration for lazy people everywhere.
