PCMAG reports that the long awaited Service Pack 2 (SP2) for the Office 2007 product line has been released.
"Service Pack 2 updates all editions of Office from Basic to Ultimate, and all Office applications. This means not just the biggies—Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint—but also InfoPath, Publisher, OneNote, Groove, Access, SharePoint, Project, Visio, and InterConnect. "

The servers also support more Web browsers, and will run on Windows Server 2008 R2 at its release. SP2 also improves Groove Server's synchronization reliability, LDAP connectivity, and "robustness."

 OfficeSharepointPro.com reports that SharePoint Designer will become a free download from microsoft.com starting April 1st! If you visit the SharePoint Designer site, it is still listed as a purchase at $299/upgrade at $159. I have not seen the official Microsoft word on this, but I have seen a few other blog postings in addition to the one at OfficeSharepointPro. Sound like a great offer. if I were planning a purchase, I would wait until April 1st or until the official notification is released to the public.
Microsoft says it's making this change in order to help customers get the most value out of their investments in SharePoint Products and technologies.
Beginning with the April 2009 Volume Licensing price list, SharePoint Designer will be removed.
[UPDATE]
Microsoft has posted a Letter to SharePoint Designer Customers

Dear Valued Customer:
One frequent comment from you to us here at Microsoft is that a significant part of the capabilities of SharePoint Designer are seen as just an extension of what SharePoint already does. In addition, we hear more and more that you want to be able to create increasingly dynamic web sites on SharePoint. |
