There will be lots of blog posts up about this, but I can't resist to join in the blog fodder. I am not really a fan of link blogging, but this is worth putting up for you all to use as a resource.
SP1 was signed off and delivered by the dev team in Redmond earlier today. The links are starting to come up on the microsoft.com website and the official released code is now available to the public!
