What can you expect in Service Pack 1?
SP1 focuses on the issues that matter most to our customers based on direct customer feedback and error reporting tools. You can expect:
- Stability. Using data from the Dr. Watson bug-reporting system, we've fixed the top software issues for each application in the 2007 Office system. The 2007 Office system SP1 also improves the stability of server components in the 2007 Office system and delivers compatibility with Windows Server® 2008, so you can confidently plan for future upgrades.
- Performance. The 2007 Office system SP1 improves performance in applications and servers. Performance improvements can be found in Microsoft Office Excel® 2007, Microsoft Office Outlook® 2007, Microsoft Office PowerPoint® 2007, and Microsoft Office SharePoint® Server 2007.
- Security. By incorporating incremental advances in security and results from application testing, the 2007 Office system SP1 offers home and office users better protection against malicious software and potential threats to privacy.

Someone jumped the gun a little bit.

Who?

Tom Warren. He should have checked and made sure the download links actually work. Microsoft already had announced the Office 2007 SP1 was going to be released today. But obviously they are waiting until later in the day to do so.

I'm sure once it's fully replicated to the download servers you will get to download it too.

Wow and to think about 4 hours ago I was looking on their page for this update with no success.
The download centre link doesn't seem to work for me either.

Not gonna bother till it hits my WSUS server.

I hope this improves the performance of excel. When it comes to charting and macros ... it is S-L-O-W to the point of unusable compared to Excel '03

I don't think Tom jumped the gun.
Instead, it is the MS site which is still working odd --
For one, the main Office page puts up the download link to SP1, and then a link to "Other Office 2007 Service Packs"
All of it gives "page not found"
Now why would MS end up going live with the page and then bringing it up as a "page not found" and that this 'error has been logged and will be fixed asap'
I am all bemused

Good question, haha. I'm not sure why they'd even bother posting those links there if the files weren't live yet.

I went onto their downloads section and it seems that the only SP1 update is Office 2007 Exchange Server, nothing else.

Those links do not work; however, if you go to "Office Update" on the left side and let it validate your office install and scan your system, then after it scans the update shows up on the list of available updates.

I hope SP1 makes Outlook a bit faster. Maybe I have things setup wrong, but Outlook is just too slow for IMAP and Windows Mail just doesn't cut it for me.
