I guess the main reason for this secrecy is to keep people curious about a new product. Another reason might be that MS wants us to deploy Office 2007 as soon as possible. Darren, that is probably true. But for those who are planning a rollout of Office 2007 this information is not enough. They have to know exactly what is in this SP. It would allow them to decide if it is worth to wait for its release. Brent, I doubt somehow that this service packs contains new features that could be copied by competitors.

I wonder if a "Live-Documents" SP1 will be released soon after Office 2007 SP1 ;) Michael, their secrecy is probably to prevent software like this being developed: http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/12/05/some-one-call-a-lawyer-live-documents-clones-microsoft-office/
