Five months later after releasing the first package of updates for Office 2007, Microsoft Corporation announced its decision to begin its spreading through the system of automatic updates.
The initial appointment of the system of automatic updates was to provide users with the latest updates, especially those relating to the system security. But after several problematic updates Microsoft now delays their automatic spread until all potential errors are corrected.
The exact date of distributing Office 2007 SP1 through the system of automatic updates is not known yet, but Microsoft announced that it will happen no earlier than June, 16.
