Finally Microsoft announced that Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008 is now RTM

Thats all good, but, Vista SP1 wont be available to public until mid of March and also we beta testers, except for the Refresh 2 build, we havent recevied any builds for download. Many do believe that the Refresh 2 build is RTM.

I got this funny picture from Long,



Really funny

And one more thing is that Windows Server 2008 RTM images for both x86 and x64 are available in Connect for small period of time, but without product keys, lol. So, Go figure out how to use it without product keys
I hope there is minimum days for activating Server, but I haven't tried it out. It is also worth to note that x64 versions of Windows Server 2008 are now available in MSDN and TechNet subscriptions.

If you are in New Zealand and use Vodafone live! services, check the Mobile Wikipedia, developed by Instinct.

The service is a WAP interface to Wikipedia and can be accessed from Vodafone live! > Communities > The Answer Is Here.

A few comments though:

- I tried it using a Palm Treo 500v (screenshot) which is the first Windows Mobile Vodafone live! compatible handset. It all worked ok but the articles themselves were not showing any formatting If you test this with other handsets (Nokia, Sony Ericcson, etc) please leave a comment how the experience goes.

- Why didn't Vodafone use something like "Mobile Wikipedia" in the link, instead of "The Answer Is Here"? It would probably attract more attention.

Good luck with the new service.
