2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 1 (SP1)

Microsoft yesterday released the 2007 Office Suites Service Pack 1 (SP1). For a full description visit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936982. It will not currently automatically update via Windows and/or Microsoft Updates, so if you wish to optionally download it now visit http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=9EC51594-992C-4165-A997-25DA01F388F5&displaylang=en. It is a large download – 218.3 MB.

Although I am generally happy with the performance of Office 2007, there are some minor issues I find frustrating at at times, particularly Outlook 2007, which often performs very sluggishly. So if this Service Pack does what Microsoft states and ‘improves stability and performance’ of these Office applications then it is likely to be a useful update.

You may wish to wait for further reviews before downloading this pack.
