According to John Westworth the Microsoft Office 2003 SP2 will be coming out today. It looks like he’s right, the Office servers have been behaving funny as if they are trying to stress-test them 🙂 Here are some details:
– Improved Security – SP2 includes an enhancement to Outlook to help prevent “Phishing.” Outlook has also improved the handling of “Junk” email. Junk messages are now rendered as plain text, preventing HTML information from being viewed inadvertently. Links are also now disabled in “Junk” email messages with SP2.
– Improved application stability – SP2 includes numerous fixes and enhancements for Office applications and servers based on customer and partner feedback as well as extensive internal testing.
– Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 – Windows SharePoint Services and Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 have been updated to include support for the upcoming releases of SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005.
Update: Just noticed that a buddy of mine, Brian Kruse is blogging. Way to go Brian!
