While Microsoft faces a host of challenges in maintaining its market share numbers and persuading customers to upgrade to its 2007 Office System suite of products when released in the second half of this year, its competitors face an equally daunting task of winning users away from Office 2007 and growing their numbers.
Heading the list of challenges facing Microsoft is the fact that Office 2007 has a new user interface, which could require extensive staff retraining at a significant cost, as well as a new file format, which has the potential to create compatibility issues, analysts such as Joe Wilcox of Jupiter Research, told eWEEK.

Microsoft is currently working on SP2 for Office 2007 and could be ready to release a final version as early as Q1 2009. Today an early copy has
leaked to BitTorrent according to Windows Vista Magazine. The file weighs in at 287.14 MB and is named office2007sp2-kb953195-fullfile-en-us.exe.
It's not clear whether the leaked copy is a beta, RC or final version of SP2 but the EULA states "012.0_B2TR_PRE.0_BTA_EN" meaning it it's
likely to be a test version. The build number is 12.0.6416.1000, compared to Microsoft Office 2007 SP1 which has the build version of 12.0.6331.5000.
SP2 will support Open Document Format (ODF), XML Paper Specification (XPS) and Portable Document Format (PDF).

Office Service Pack Team: Were pleased to announce that Service Pack 2 (SP2) for the 2007 Microsoft Office system is expected to be released in the
near future. Although we arent yet announcing the exact release date, it will fall between February and April of 2009.
Historically, we have waited to communicate details about service packs until their release (or very shortly before). As we communicated with SP3
for Office 2003 and SP1 for the 2007 Office System, we will be taking steps to increase transparency and visibility into the Office servicing model at
the request of our customers. To that end, we would like to start sharing some details into what will be included in SP2 for the 2007 Office system.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of everything included in this service pack and we will share more details prior to the final release, but we
want to start communicating to customers what they should be aware of at a high level.

Darren Strange: Responding to
com
ments from yesterday and providing additional clarification.
Windows update service schedule.
Microsoft Update and ˜
Check for updates on the
Office download tab page both use the same
detection logic. This however is a PULL mechanisms where the client initiates the process by visiting the webpage.
Automatic Updates uses the same detection logic, also called by a client process and if configured to do so will Automatically
pull the updates down and also install them for the client .
So whilst the advice is that users and customers
should allow automatic updates, we want to give customers fair warning before Office sp1 patches are auto installed. This hopefully explains why
sp1 is available on update now but that we won't be adding it to auto updates for a few months.

26.05.2009Office 2007 SP1 Update Availability Clarification
Bobbie Harder: Posting this as I've noted just a little bit of confusion with how Office 2007 SP1 is made available for download after it's release
yesterday. As you know, Office 2007 SP1 was released yesterday to Microsoft Update, and to WSUS as part of the Tues, Dec 11th release.
As planned, Office 2007 SP1 was not pushed via Automatic Updates. There has been some confusion where Windows Vista customers are seeing
Office 2007 SP1 listed as available with an option to install in their Windows Update control panel applet. The new Vista experience of the Windows
Update applet combines the convenience of the Microsoft Update site, by isting all applicable available updates, and the best of the Automatic
Updates behavior. This allows users to specify what update types they want to automatically download and install (and when), as well as combines the
interactive experience of the Microsoft Update site.

In general, Microsoft describes Office

- All of the Public Updates, Security Updates, Cumulative Updates, and Hotfixes released through February 2009.
- Previously
unreleased fixes that were made specifically for this service pack. (In addition to general product fixes, this includes improvements in stability,
performance, and security.)
However, unlike the folks at Apple, Microsoft provides a more detailed list of changes that were made in SP2.
Due to the extreme amount of changes that were made, they can not fit inside one article, so head over to this KB article on Microsoft's site to

10.12.2007Windows Server 2003 SP2 Blocker Tool to be removed from Windows Update and Automatic Update
Ward Ralston: Just a reminder - It has been a little over a year since we released
Windows Server 2003 SP2. When we release a Service
Pack at Microsoft, we want to make sure that IT professionals and system administrators have ample time to assess the service pack and choose when to
deploy it.
As with other service packs, we offered support for Windows Server 2003 SP2 within the
Windows Service Pack Blocker
Toolkit. This allowed administrators to block the automatic deployment of Windows Server 2003 SP2 for a period of one year.
Now that time has expired, organizations should be aware that over the next month, support for Windows Server 2003 SP2 within the blocker tool
will be phased out Windows Server 2003 SP2 will then be automatically offered, downloaded and/or installed (depending on user or administrator
settings) through standard mechanisms including Windows Update and Automatic Update.

28.05.2008Office 2007 SP1 Installation/Slipstream Guide
Some of you may be wondering how to do a clean install of Office 2007 using an Office 2007 RTM image along with SP1 at the same time. As you may know,
Office 2007 makes use of the Updates folder in the installation media to install any new updates that it finds in the folder however updates have to
be in the .msp file format for them to be recognized. Since the Office 2007 SP1 update file is delivered in the .exe format, an extra step is required
before being able to proceed:
First, you should copy the contents of the Office 2007 RTM image to a temporary folder. For our
example we're using C:O2007Temp. We have also copied the Office 2007 SP1 Update file (office2007sp1-kb936982-fullfile-en-us.exe) to the D:
drive.
Then, using the Run command in Windows XP/Vista (WinKey+R), run the following command:
D:office2007sp1-kb936982-fullfile-en-us.exe /extract:C:O2007TempUpdates
replacing D: with wherever you stored
the Office 2007 SP1 update file and C:O2007Temp with wherever you stored the Office 2007 RTM files. After agreeing to the Microsoft Software
License Terms, SP1 will be extracted to C:O2007TempUpdates.
That's it! Just start the setup for Office 2007 and the
updates for SP1 will then be picked up and installed during the setup. The same method applies to any other Office 2007 SP1 update.
