+Microsoft has officially released two "hot fix" updates for Windows Vista which address a number of issues in the new operating system. While these don't yet constitute a true service pack release, they are expected to be included in the as-yet-unannounced Vista SP1 expected sometime later this year.

+*	fix for data loss when editing an image file that uses the RAW image format from the Canon EOS 1D and the Canon EOS 1DS

+Microsoft has also quietly released pre-beta version of Windows XP SP3 to testers. I managed to dig up a forum post on AeroXP.org which claims to have [screenshots of the XP update][3], though they may well be fake. So far there have been no details on what XP SP3 will fix, nor any timeline for a final release.
