Today, we are giving notice that SP1 for the 2007 Microsoft Office System will begin being available via MU Automatic Update starting around June 16th. We released SP1 for Office 2007 to customers approximately 5 months ago and since that time we have had 10’s of millions of downloads and a very good reaction from our customers.

Given our commitment to advance notice, we wanted to use this blog as one of many avenues to alert our customers to the fact that we will be distributing SP1 automatically via Automatic Update beginning June 16th. The availability will happen gradually and not everyone will see it at the same time. Think of the 16th as the earliest possible start of distribution and that no sooner than that date will SP1 start to become available to customers' systems via this channel. This is necessary to ensure that our service infrastructure can meet the enormous demand for the service pack.

This policy approach seems to have worked really well with SP3 for Office 2003 because it gave the market plenty of time to evaluate the SP and gave us time to address specific customer concerns. We’ve undertaken the same steps for SP1 for Office 2007 and so it’s great to be getting it out to those customers who depend on Automatic Update.
