01-DEC-2007, just an update Joel has posted on the official sharepoint team blog a further update on SP1.
————————————————————————
Cezary Aniśko has just posted some notes that look like a high level summary of what will be in Sharepoint 2007 SP1. Unfortunately his post is in Polish, which not a language that I know. However there is still plenty of info that can be gathered from his post.
I’m also copying it over there just in case it ‘disappears’.
