Microsoft Office 2007 SP1 released!

The 2007 Microsoft Office system Service Pack 1 (SP1) reflects unceasing efforts at Microsoft to address customer concerns. Nearly all of the improvements included in the 2007 Office system SP1 are in response to direct feedback from power users at large organizations or indirect feedback from home and office users through the Dr. Watson bug-reporting system. By tapping these extensive customer-feedback channels, Microsoft targeted the issues that customers care about most. As a result, the 2007 Office system SP1 delivers significant stability and performance improvements to the applications that home and office workers rely on every day.

By deploying the 2007 Office system SP1, home users and businesses can quickly reap benefits in the following areas:

• 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.

I can't say that I've had any issues with Office 2007 whatsoever... but I guess I'll install the service pack anyway.

It's now coming in via Windows Update.

I wasn't able to install the SP1 stand-alone package on Vista (with SP1 RC installed). Anybody having similar problems?
