MSDN has the latest SDKs for both MOSS and WSS and these are also available for download. Nothing new for Project, and I am not aware of any planned releases of another SDK - but do please let me know if there are some samples you really need and we can see how we can best get these to you.
Full details of the latest and greatest for SharePoint can be found on Randall's blog or to go direct to the downloads here are the links:-
Don't forget that the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Tools: Visual Studio 2008 Extensions, Version 1.2 were also updated recently and now work with Visual Studio 2008. Download them here. The extensions can only be loaded on x86 architecture (I missed the note, so I will repeat it here).
Note: This download does not work with an x64 OS. We currently recommend a x86 development machine for SharePoint development when targeting x64 OS for test and production. Output binaries are all .NET assemblies so you can reasonably expect all .NET assemblies built on the x86 dev box to still work on your x86 OS test and production machines. The CLR will JIT compile the .NET assembly on each target machine and will optimize for x64 OS when run on that architecture. Testing on x64 after doing development on x86 is still recommended.
And if like me you have x64 operating systems on all your x64 servers - then look to Hyper-V and host an x86 Windows Server 2008 for your development!
***Update3*** Read on for general Cumulative Update information - but we now have the December release and KBs - see

***Update2*** Read on for general Cumulative Update information - but we now have the October release and KBs - see http://blogs.msdn.com/brismith/archive/2008/10/29/project-server-2007-microsoft-office-october-cumulative-update-and-associated-kbs-now-available.aspx
***UPDATE*** Now public - see http://blogs.msdn.com/chrisfie/archive/2008/09/26/announcing-the-release-of-the-august-cumulative-update-for-project-and-project-server-2007.aspx
You may already be familiar with the term Cumulative Updates for other Microsoft products, and now they are about to make their appearance in the Office world. The idea of moving from individual hotfixes to a bi-monthly package of fixes is something that has benefits both for Microsoft and our customers. For Microsoft it increases efficiency in both coding and testing as it allows better planning of related fixes, and for our customers it gives a defined, predictable release pattern. The first of these cumulative updates is just about ready, and I'll post links when the KB articles are live, and also some brief notes concerning some of the fixes, but you can also look out for KB956056 (MOSS 2007), KB956057 (WSS 3.0), KB956060 (Project 2007) and KB956061 (Project Server 2007) if you happen to be reading this long after 8/29/2008. You do not require the WSS update to apply the Project Server one, but it will ensure you are up to date if you do apply it. We would also recommend that you have the recent Infrastructure Updates installed for WSS and the Office Servers (which includes Project Server) before applying the cumulative updates.
For more details of the process see the Office Sustained Engineering blog at http://blogs.technet.com/office_sustained_engineering/archive/2008/07/01/office-hotfixes-to-be-delivered-on-a-defined-schedule-in-the-form-of-cumulative-updates.aspx and also take a look at KB953878.
The KB article for the Office 2007 application suite (the regular Office clients) is already available at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957022/, however this does not include the Project client.
As promised, the first of the Hyper-V documents is out - see http://blogs.technet.com/epmcontent/ for the links.
Great Job, Efren and Robert!
Excuse me the indulgence of a non product post occasionally - but Scientific American says it is good for me and cites "even speeds healing after surgery." For those that are interested my recovery is going OK, and hopefully just one more surgery next month on my right arm to remove some hardware that has been holding things together. It looks like a gate hinge on the X-Ray. I will also find out then how the bone graft is doing in my left leg.
With some extra time on my hands I have been looking at statistics of my blog readers and have also added a map control to see where you all are. Not too much data in yet, but 5% of my readers are within 10 miles! That will be Redmond. But 85% are over 1000 miles away, with over 30% over 5000. I have readers in Mauritius, Bermuda, Trinidad and Tobago, Oahu, Kauai and Jamaica. Not sure if I was there I'd be reading my blog - and if these were vacationers - shame on you - get out and enjoy these beautiful Islands! If you were in Hull I could understand it (where I also have some readers). Furthest North so far is Anchorage, and furthest South is Tasmania.
Using other tools I can check the browser language settings, and in the month or so it has been running I see just over 75% English settings, German just under 4%, followed by Spanish, Portuguese and Russian going down to 2% and then another 30+ other languages.
My most "popular" pages have been the ones on installation issues, cube building, the queue and unexpected errors. No real surprises there, but it gives me some ideas on pages to review to check the content is still valid.
It is great to see the reach that my blog is getting and I am really pleased that people appear to be getting value from it. If I am missing anything you want to hear about then please contact me.
Following on from my recent Hyper-V post regarding Project, I can now point you to some new published guidance for SharePoint 2007 and WSS 3.0!
Expect some pointers for some excellent Project documents later this week and into next week.
