New Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 Service Packs Roll Out

Posted by Soulskill on from the packed-with-services dept.

jones_supa writes "While service packs are out of style for the Windows operating system, Microsoft has pushed out another service pack (SP2) for both Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 products. According to the company, they provide key updates and fixes across servers, services and applications including security, stability, and performance enhancements and better compatibility with Windows 8, Internet Explorer 10, Office 2013, and SharePoint 2013. The updates are available through Windows Update and as separate downloads."

    ...there is already a site more or less dedicated to announcements about Microsoft Service Packs. It is called Microsoft.com, and I think most people around here know about it, so we do not need another one.

      Did you complain about the /. article announcing the latest update to Apache OpenOffice yesterday, or is that different?

      Also, I can't help but feel you've missed the point of aggregator sites like Slashdot. Part of their purpose is saving you from having to constantly monitoring a pile of different sites for their version of news.

      Anybody running an MS infrastructure who is getting MS product news from /. have a serious issue with priorities.

      Here's a quick tip to make Slashdot more efficient for you. If you don't want to read about updates to Microsoft products, just skip over the story and read the next one. That way you can filter out the articles that don't interest you while those people who don't want to spend every day with their eyes glued to Microsoft's website can still get the information that they need. Remember that it is supposed to be "News for nerds" and not "News for FaxeTheCat".

      The mistake that you made here today was wasting your time writing five posts to say that this topic doesn't interest you.
