The Office update and Exchange update won't be on Windows Update - they're not Windows products.

I think MS is gonna force SP2 on you & millions of others without it today unless you are somehow blocking it.

Its worth getting imo. Haven't had a single crash since installing it, and thats saying something for MS!

What time do the updates go live normally?
