Office 2007 SP1 Now in Limited Beta

Microsoft has released to a select group of testers the first beta release of Office 2007 Service Pack 1. Dubbed a "Technical Preview," those in Microsoft's TAP program will have 30 days to provide feedback to the Redmond company.

Few details are known about the service pack, such as what new features or fixes it includes, and Microsoft is remaining mum on its release plans for both Office 2007 SP1 and Vista SP1. Typically, Office service packs are simply a collection of fixes and rarely bring major changes to Microsoft's flagship productivity suite.
