True to their word, Microsoft release SP2 for their Office suite today. It includes SP2 for Office 2007, WSSv3 and MOSS 2007. For a little more detail on the updates, SharePoint Joel has a great blog post.
Of, if you just prefer to go straight to the downloads the links are below:

Lots of news on the Microsoft Office front today so I decided to add a blog post instead of just twittering about it.
The first items comes from a recent posting by www.microsoft-watch.com. Service Pack 2 for Office 2007 will be release in two weeks, on April 28. Two of the largest changes are the PDF/XPS printer will now be included automatically in SP2 rather than the separate add-on download/install that it is now. The second improvement is the added support of ODF (Open Document Format) documents. The list of improvements and bug fixes is long, but those are the two major ones in my opinion.
The second one is that Office “14” is going to be Office 2010. There was a posting earlier about it, that also receive some doubt about it’s validity. However, this posting by Mary-Jo Foley seems to confirm that the initial posting was accurate, even if the screen shot wasn’t valid.
I’m not going to go on way or the other on the validity of the screen shot, but needless to say, there were plenty of very strong indicators that the next version of Office will indeed by Office 2010.
