After much delay, ISO has finally released ISO 9001:2008 and you can purchase buy a copy of the ISO 9001:2008 Standard and review for yourself.  Even if you are involved with other standards, don't forget that ISO 13485, 14001, TS 16949 & AS9100 are all based upon ISO 9001 so you should be familiar with the new 9001 revision.
