If you've been waiting patiently for your
Windows Phone 7 device to get copy and paste support, bad news: you're still going to be waiting after you install the update Microsoft is pushing today. The first Windows Phone 7 update brings changes which will pave the way for future updates -- by improving the way the operating system handles updates.
And don't forget, for now you need the
Zune desktop app for Windows or the
Windows Phone 7 connector app for Mac to install updates on your WP7 phone. Perhaps one of the improvements being shipped is support for OTA updates...

@redrings
I see now that it is coming at different times for different people (to reduce server load?).

Well if they can support OTA updates after this update then it seemss like a good update.

As a former Windows Mobile user I've never been happier jumping ship.
