The iPhone Dev Team has confirmed that a Windows Version of Redsn0w 0.9.7 is on its way for jailbreaking iOS 4.2.1 with iOS 4.1 IPSW instead of iOS 4.2b3 firmware and SHSH blobs.
Since Apple still serves the 4. IPSW (not blobs!) , we'll do a windows redsn0w release for untethered 4.2.1 via Monte -4.1
Unfortunately, it wouldn't be really fast as the Windows version of Redsn0w will be using filesystem instead of RAM.

At the beginning I've to say to Apple: Please stop your war against Jailbreak. NBC reports that Apple has asked the federal government to help crack down on hackers and stop them from jailbreaking iPhones.
Apple told the U.S. Copyright Office
Current jailbreak technologies now in widespread use utilize unauthorized modifications to the copyrighted bootloader and operating system, resulting in the infringement of the copyrights in those programs
This request came just after Sony's
filed lawsuit against Geohot and fail0verflow team. This action from Apple came though the Library of Congress having deemed that jailbreaking your iPhone in order to install applications not approved by Apple is totally legal.

Some good news, Andrea Cervone over iPhoneItalia was able to contact with Comex (the hacker behind JailbreakMe and Spirit), he asked him whether he will preserve his untethered jailbreak until Verizon releases iPhone 4 which will be powered by iOS 4.2.5 ? Let's see how Comex replied him
Andrea Cervone asking: So, if Apple releases iOS 4.2.5 on 10 February, you’ll preserver your new tool and exploits for that firmware? Maybe this will be a good move. Dev Team and Chronic Dev are releasing their tools for iOS 4.2.1, your can be saved for the future too.
Comex replying:
I hadn’t seen that.
Interesting.. but a month’s
A long time to wait.
So, it's now clear that Comex has moved back about his last ETA (estimate to arrival) for his untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 as it was related to iOS 4.3 (or iOS 4.2.5) official release. Anyway let's wait and see. Stay tunes

Few minutes ago
p0sixninja the hacker behind Greenpois0n jailbreak has just
announced that the new version of Greenpois0n is being updated to be untethered jailbreak for
iOS 4.2.1 on iPhone 4,3GS iPod touch 4G, 3G and iPad, but the untethered task has caused a delay in releasing the new Greenpois0n.
I apologize for the delay in greenpois0n 4.2.1 support. Our current focus is on a permanent untether solution
Till now there is no ETA (estimate to arrival) for the new Greenpois0n. By the way Comex is also developing a new method to make
untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 on all devices and it's expected to see the light
on Christmas.
