SQL Server 2008 SP1 CU #9 is available for download

The SQL Server Release Services team recently announced that they have released a new Cumulative Update for SQL Server 2008 SP1:

This update will bring you to build 10.00.2789.  From the looks of the KB article, a healthy dose of fixes are made available in this update (a lot more than it looks like are in store for SP2).

KB #2083921 : Cumulative update package 9 for SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1

Note that if you have installed the SQL Server 2008 SP2 CTP , you should not attempt to install this update.  It is likely that shortly after SP2 is officially released, there will be a follow-up Cumulative Update that will include all of the fixes from CU #9.
