It is pretty recent, so I haven’t seem much feedback about it. I have read a single report from a user who had no issues. If you’re usually cautious, you may want to give it a few days to see how it goes.

From what I could read, most fixes included here have been released before, but there may be a few that are new.

I confess I usually backup (new image) and install most SPs immediately.

I’ve installed it on a three PCs without a problem. None of the PCs had the full Office suite.

I installed it also on 3 PC with various 2007 office programs, no problems encountered. I have found that for 99 percent of Windows users, MS updates are reliable

Thanks for the feedback. I figured it was new, since I hadn’t noticed the notification before. Just wanted to chek first, before I take the plunge.
