Over at the Windows Vista blog, they’ve announced the final version of the iPod patch for Vista. This is for users who use the “safely disconnect hardware” icon to remove their iPod, rather than using iTune’s eject button.

I’d really like more details about the patch and what it does, but haven’t found anything thus far. I have to believe that it’s mainly an Apple problem, as the patch is very specific in targetting iPods. If it was some low-level USB problem in general with Vista, the patch would be labelled as such (and the bug probably wouldn’t have even made it out of Beta 1.)

Anyhow. If you’ve got an iPod and are running Vista, better update just to be safe.
