Tom Warren. He should have checked and made sure the download links actually work. Microsoft already had announced the Office 2007 SP1 was going to be released today. But obviously they are waiting until later in the day to do so.
Direct Links (not live yet! )

The download centre link doesn't seem to work for me either.
I don't think Tom jumped the gun.
Instead, it is the MS site which is still working odd --
For one, the main Office page puts up the download link to SP1, and then a link to "Other Office 2007 Service Packs"
All of it gives "page not found"
Now why would MS end up going live with the page and then bringing it up as a "page not found" and that this 'error has been logged and will be fixed asap'
I am all bemused

Go to the homepage Office Download Center above, look on your left there's a light green column, click on Office Update , ur Office 2007 must be Genuine to update to SP1 using ActiveX
I concur
Even the new Silverlight version of download manager page doesnt show it

I use a folder at the root of my C drive called 'Downloads'
#1 - I left the SP in there after install, then I shortened the name to SP1.exe. Then I created a folder named 'FILES' in the 'Download' folder.
#2 - Open a command prompt, and use the 'cd' switch to get yourself to the place where the SP1.exe is (i.e. cd c
#3 - type the following (take in to account your own folder structure if needed, and without the quotes).
'sp1.exe /extract:FILES'
This will unpack the service pack into the folder 'FILES', and not run the installer. You will be asked to agree to the EULA before the extraction will occur. If you do it correctly, your destination folder will have MSP's in it that are named as so:
ClientSharedMUIsp1-en-us
MAINMUIsp1-en-us
MAINWWsp1
Office64WWsp1
Proofsp1-en-us
Proofsp1-es-es
Proofsp1-fr-fr
You only need to do this if you plan on adding the SP1 to the 'Updates' folder on the install CD & then re-burn the ISO (as I plan to do).
Update - GOD, I hate the fact that they removed direct slipstream capabilities from this latest version - adding the SP1 to the install media makes the damn thing grow to 889MB!
