Windows Server 2008 released and Vista SP1 (almost)

I see that Windows Server 2008 has been released, and downloads are now on the Connect site.

Vista Service Pack 1 as also been finalised, but it appears it won't be available for download until Mid-March.

Looks like we need to be a bit more patient, unless they do make it available on the Connect site prior to the regular public Microsoft Downloads site.

What password?

Why did my phone's alarm either not go off or wake me up on time this morning?

And more importantly, when I turned it on, why was it asking me for a password? (I have a PIN on my SIM card, but this wasn't prompting me for that)

After trying every password it could possibly be, I did a reset, and fortunately, the password prompt went away.

So either there's a weird bug in Windows Mobile 6, I set a password on it in my sleep (unlikely), or someone else did this (also unlikely).

The last thing I did before I turned out the light was to confirm that the alarm was set (so there wasn't a password set then), so this is very odd.

If your 'Show Desktop' icon is missing from the Quick Launch toolbar

then this is how you put it back.
