Service Pack 2 for MOSS 2007, WSS 3.0 and Office 2007 will release on the 28th of April 2009. This announcements was made on the Office team blog, along with an introduction to some of the fixes / features added.

My top 6 improvements are:

Support ODF 1.1 in Office 2007 (read and Save As)
Built in Save as PDF in Office 2007 (no need to download add-in anymore)
Performance in start-up, shutdown, view rendering, and folder switch has been improved in Outlook 2007 – I have been testing this, and WOW it is a major improvement!
Substantial improvements to Forms-based authentication in WSS – I like :-)
The performance and stability of content deployment and variations feature has been improved in MOSS
SP2 offers support for a broader range of Web browsers

Find Commands in Office 2007 Easily with Office Labs Search Commands

Ever wondered where a command / function is in Office 2007? The ribbon is amazing but getting started when you are used to the previous menu system can be a little hard.

Step In....Search Commands from Office Labs. Simply type in the task, function, command you are looking for into a box and get the exact answer you are looking for. As you can see in the screen shot below, I wanted to know how to insert a digital signature line in a Microsoft Word document, so I searched for "insert digital signature", and as I type the commands are shown just to the right of the search box. Pretty darn cool!

Download it now and give it a go.
