Announcing the February Cumulative Update for Outlook 2007
The Outlook team is proud to announce the release of the February Cumulative Update for Outlook 2007, a series of performance and reliability improvements that have been consolidated into a single package for our customers. Since the release of Outlook 2007 we have been working hard to improve performance, and this update represents the latest in our continued efforts to build a better experience for Outlook users around the world.
To get started and install the update right away visit the download page. This update contains a significant number of new performance-focused improvements for Outlook users. We especially focused on the areas of starting up and shutting down Outlook, switching between folders with large numbers of messages, calendar reliability and consistency, and general responsiveness of the application when performing common tasks around managing your e-mail, calendar, and other information. In short, we believe your daily experience with Outlook will be greatly improved with the installation of this Cumulative Update.
For IT Pros or anyone managing a large deployment of Outlook 2007, this update will help address various concerns you may have received from your users regarding Outlook performance and responsiveness. Many of our customers have provided valuable feedback since the initial launch of Outlook 2007, and that feedback has directly influenced our investment in publishing this update. This update should address many concerns for both individual users and those managing large deployments of Outlook alike. To get detailed information regarding which specific issues have been addressed please read the February Cumulative Update Whitepaper.
Note: Upon successful installation of the update, the first time Outlook is run there will be a slight one-time delay as Outlook reprocesses your data files – after this initial process, performance will be improved as stated above and in the whitepaper.
