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.
