Office 2007 SP2 Released Apr 28!!

So it's been confirmed that the next Service Pack to Office 2007 will be released this month, April 28th. Call me a nerd, but I love service packs, updates, patches. Wow, even I would call myself a nerd after that one lol. Let's take a brief look at what's to come in SP2.

• A big thing to point out would be the ability to handle OpenOffice documents; .odt (OpenDocument Text), .ods (OpenDocument Spreadsheet), and .odp (OpenDocument Presentation) Very useful if you get sent homework or other work related things in ODT format.
• This will be the first service pack to support uninstalls of individual updates via the Microsoft Service Pack Uninstall Tool for the 2007 Microsoft Office Suite. Microsoft, for the love of all that is good and holy, please stop using these crazy long names. Shorten it to something like MS SP Uninstaller. At least that way you still make sure that everyone knows its your product while not being the reason I develop carpal tunnel! The ability to uninstall via command line will also be available.
• The Save-As PDF or XPS plugin will no longer be necessary as this is addressed by the service pack. Saving to PDF may be more valuable and useful than you think.
  
• You can now export Access reports to Excel (This hasn't been possible before? I figured that Microsoft would have already been compatible with its own software by now...). Some performance improvements are also included.
• Overall Outlook performance has been improved (If you haven't already switched to Thunderbird already...)
• File saving has been sped up in PowerPoint.
  

This is certainly not a full list. Just the ones that I find relevant to my interests.
