Windows Update Services 3.0 Released

Microsoft has released Windows Update Services 3.0. I have been running the Release Candidate for a while now, and it's been performing really well. I'll be sure to update to the final version on wednesday when my small spring holiday ends. Thankfully it's possible to upgrade to the final release version from the Release Candidate. That is not the case for any of the pre-RC versions of Windows Update Services 3.0, and if you are running one of beta versions you will need to uninstall it before installing the final version. That also means dropping the database and starting from scratch. Also, if you use SSL for securing the Windows Update Services traffic, upgrading from RC to final will require that you reassign the certificate to the WSUS website. I have not been able to find a detailed list of changes and bugfixes that has been made since the RC release yet, I'll be very thankful if anyone can point me in the right direction though.
