It is exciting, but will it also be available via officeupdate and microsoftupdate? What are the considerations when choosing between waiting for it to appear there, or applying the changes now?

Got to work but had to unzip in file other than default in the unzip-per. Seems like maybe great improvement.

A job very well done indeed.

The first-ever set of cumulative Office updates were a little bumpy (either the hotfixes were ready but the articles were not, or visa versa).

These articles are very comprehensive and timely.

Downloaded twice, uncompressed (on WXP Pro to different locations) and ran hotfix but received the following error:

The detection failed, this can be due to a corrupted installation database.

Any suggestions?

Kudos

Kudos to the Outlook 2007 team for acknowledging and directly addressing customer concerns, in areas like startup and shutdown, calendar reliability, and general responsiveness.

And Thank You for documenting both the intent and the details in the KB968009 --

"Outlook 2007 improvements in the February 2009 cumulative update"

Thank You All!

Regards,

-Joel.

First startup is not a "slight delay" on my machine (Vista Ult x64, 8GB RAM). It's almost at 2 hours now.

Proof if it was needed that you have been listening - I'll hold back on the gushing praise for the engineering effort until I've seen that the calendar fixes do fix our biggest pain-points :o)

But most of all, thanks for the greatest KB article I've seen in ages. Takes me back to the days of 'proper' resource kits (when they told you in detail how the product worked, not just how to install it). I really hope this is a sign of more in-depth technical writing to come.

Installed without a problem. However hyperlinks in new emails seem to have been effected and now show up as follows and do not work:

{HYPERLINK "http://www.sitename.com"}

Does anyone else have this problem. I have hyperlinks within my business signature so this is not acceptable. Can the hotfix be reversed/removed until this matter is resolved?

ok so this is serious now. I cannot get outlook working, I am trying to restore (although nothing appears to be happening) and you guys have gone to ground. What is going on. Is there anything I can do?

I have been experiencing an issue with Outlook removing all of the HTML formatting from a Template that sends fine manually when sending that template via an auto-responding rule. Is this something that would be addressed in the new update or is this something that can be fixed via a setting?

After installing, my x64 system could no longer boot (msrpc.sys not found), which makes sense since it was labelled x86. Is there a different version for x64?

Are all of these fixes included in SP2? Should most users who aren't having any problems wait for that?

I did some before-&-after experimentation. I couldn't be more thrilled:
