"With SP2, we are not only delivering on top customer requests mid-cycle, but also taking a first step in bringing Microsoft software plus services to Mac users," Mike Tedesco, a senior product manager for Microsoft's Mac business unit, said in a statement. Microsoft also talked up Document Connection's improved access to SharePoint, the corporate-grade document sharing and collaboration server. At the same time, Office Live Workspace supports Safari 4.0, Apple's newest browser, as of today. The tool is meant to make it easier for business users to share documents with colleagues running the Mac and Windows editions of Office, as it streamlines opening and saving documents to Office Live Workspace, the for-free online document access, storage and sharing service. At the time, Microsoft was coy about a delivery date, saying only that it would ship the tool "later this year." But it focused attention on the new Document Connection tool, which it first unveiled in January 2009 at the Macworld Conference & Expo. Microsoft touted several stability and performance improvements to the Mac suite, including faster launch and scrolling for Word, and 24% faster calculating in Excel.
Office 2008 SP2 is the first major update to the suite since May 2008's SP1. Microsoft today updated Office 2008 for Mac to Service Pack 2 (SP2), adding a tool that beefs up access to documents stored on enterprise SharePoint servers and Microsoft's free Office Live Workspace service.
