Last December, Microsoft rolled out Service Pack 1 , a total of 320 MB. The update includes fixes for 455 issues throughout the entire Office suite. Microsoft is not going to push users for Automatic Update for at least three months. “We’ll give users a 30-day notice before throttling up [SP1 via] Automatic Update,” promised Shaffner, worldwide product manager for Office. The notice will be posted on Microsoft’s Web site and publicized elsewhere.

Shaffner and Rizzo detailed only a few new features in SP1, including support for the not-yet-released Windows Server 2008 and beefed up compatibility between 2007’s native file format, Office Open XML and the formats used by earlier editions of the suite. Also, Office 2007 SP1 features a slew of security patches and bug fixes (including the mathematical error in Excel), but doesn’t add any new features. Aside from bug fixes, SP1 reportedly offers a number of performance enhancements, particularly for those running Windows Vista, where performance often lagged.

You can get a more complete description of SP1, including a list of issues that were fixed, in the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 936982: Description of the 2007 Microsoft Office suite Service Pack 1.

You might ask, why Service Pack 1? Well, SP1 focuses on the issues that matter to users of Office 2007 which have been collated based on direct customer feedback and error reporting tools.

Microsoft Windows Vista SP1 contains changes focused on addressing specific reliability and performance issues, supporting new types of hardware, and adding support for several emerging standards. Windows Vista SP1 also addresses some management, deployment, and support challenges. Windows Vista Service Pack 1 will download automatically to PCs that have the automatic update feature of the OS turned on, the company said.

Microsoft has acknowledged problems with application compatibility and lack of driver support, among others, that customers have had with Vista. It says SP1 and other updates that the company continues to make should remedy these problems. What the company hasn’t said is why there were so many problems with the OS when the company had more than five years between the releases of Windows XP and Vista to ensure a smooth transition.

Even after today’s announcement, however, some Vista users may not see SP1 for weeks or even months because their PCs are using defective device drivers that Microsoft says may cause problems during an upgrade. It is blocking systems with those drivers from obtaining SP1 until the drivers themselves have been updated.

Users can obtain SP1 by downloading a much larger standalone installer from Microsoft’s site if the service pack is not visible in Windows Update.

Microsoft patches a critical flaw in the Windows operating system that could be used by criminals to create a self-copying computer worm attack.

The software vendor released its first set of patches for 2008 on Tuesday, fixing a pair of networking flaws in the Windows kernel. Microsoft also released a second update for a less-serious Windows flaw that would allow attackers to steal passwords or run Windows software with elevated privileges.

The critical bug lies in the way Windows processes networking traffic that uses IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) and MLD (Multicast Listener Discovery) protocols, which are used to send data to many systems at the same time. Microsoft says that an attacker could send specially crafted packets to a victim’s machine, which could then allow the attacker to run unauthorized code on a system.

Because IGMP is enabled in Windows XP and Vista by default, this bug could be used to create a self-copying worm attack, Microsoft said Tuesday. Windows uses the IGMP protocol for many popular consumer applications such as streaming video, multiplayer games and universal plug-and-play.
