Microsoft releases Office 2007 service pack 1

Microsoft has released the first major update to Office 2007, with company managers calling it a “typical service pack” that focuses on collecting existing fixes rather than introducing a raft of new features.

Office 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1), which can be downloaded manually from Microsoft’s Web site starting today, will not be pushed to users via Automatic Update for at least three months, however. According to Reed Shaffner, worldwide product manager for Office, Microsoft won’t use Windows’ update service to deliver the pack for at least three months, and may wait as long as six months to do so.

“We’ll give users a 30-day notice before throttling up [SP1 via] Automatic Update,” promised Shaffner. The notice will be posted on Microsoft’s Web site and publicized elsewhere.

Depending on how users or companies have set Automatic Update, Office 2007 SP1 may be automatically downloaded and installed once the pack is added to the update list.

Microsoft does not currently plan to release a service pack blocking tool for Office 2007 SP1, as it did last week for Windows Vista SP1 and Windows XP SP3.
