Office Service Pack Team announced Service Pack 2 for 2007 Microsoft Office System.  This new service pack will be released between February and April 2009.  It will contain both client and server updates.  Here are some of the SharePoint related topics that we will be expanding upon in later posts.

• Improved Read-only Content Databases
  Whenever a content database is marked read-only, all of the site collections in that database are automatically marked as read-only. 
• ECM Performance and Manageability Improvements
  Improved performance and manageability in variations, including STSADM commands for repairing links between source and target pages.
• Improved Index Rebuild Timer Jobs
  SharePoint content databases running in SQL Server 2005 will undergo an automatic index rebuild, which helps stop defragmentation, and stop the database from degrading in performance.
• Upgrade Checker
  This will scan your SharePoint farm in advance of applying SP2 and will provide feedback on the environments readiness to upgrade.

So please stay tuned!
