- Upgrade Went Smoothly
-
I just completed the upgrade to Office 2007 SP2 and all went well. According to Firefox v3.5b4 the download was approx. 290MB and with a 15 Mbs download speed it happened rather quickly. Once downloaded it took about 15 to 20 minutes to complete the installation.
Although a reboot was not necessary, Office was performing sluggishly so I did reboot and it normalized with what appears to be slightly more speed in opening the applications.
I did not gain much in the area of functionality because I had third party plugins that already provided some of the functionality attained in SP2, but felt it was worth the download to acquire the security improvements and eventually I plan on installing Sharepoint.
Later this evening I plan on a Defrag just to ensure the HDD is optimized. I feel this is necessary after installing such a significant amount of data. To me 290MB before extraction qualifies for defrag.
BTW - I am disappointed to learn that Vista SP2 has been delayed. Although I have not beta tested SP2 rumor has it that some performance enhancements are coming with SP2. Is this true?
