Among those of his servants that have names the greatest was that spirit whom the Eldar called Sauron, or Gorthaur the Cruel. In his beginning he was of the Maiar of Aulė, and he remained mighty in the lore of that people. In all the deeds of Melkor the Morgoth upon Arda, in his vast works and in the deceits of his cunning, Sauron had a part, and was only less evil than his master in that for long he served another and not himself. But in after years he rose like a shadow of Morgoth and a ghost of his malice, and walked behind him on the same ruinous path down into the Void.

Sauron and Morgoth both go to the Void and one might think that Saruman would too, seeing how his death was so simular to Sauron's. But remember that Morgoth and Sauron both had second chances, Saruman might get one as well. As far as the whole bit in LOTR about the spirit being blown away in the wind, remember that LOTR was written pretty early on and a lot of the mythology changed, I wouldn't put a whole lot of weight in the accounts therein. It's my opinion Saruman would come also to the Valar and would get a second chance in some way or another.
