Windows 7: Office 2007 -- I see SP3 is still available via Windows Update

jimbo45 · 12 Jan 2013

Hi there
I still have a VM running Office 2007 -- was going to update to 2010 but just forgot about it -- anyway just doing a Windows update for the VM and the update started installing the SP3 for Office 2007.

Must admit I thought there were only TWO service packs for Office 2013 --obviously I was wrong.

Seems then that Office 2007 is still in "Maintenance mode" as well as Office 2010 and 2013.

So for those that don't NEED to update Office 2007 is still OK for the time being (although I'm used to Office 2010 now).

Cheers
jimbo

Hiyyya jimbo aint seen you around for a while - mate I still have 07 on my laptop nad it still gets the odd updates (security ones).

My other machines I now have 10 but I still sorta prefer the "simplicity" of 07

Here's an MS page with links for product lifecycle information.

It looks like Office 2007 has extended support until at least 10/10/2017.

Hi ya --G'day mate

I've been messing around a lot recently with W8 so been over there for a while -- I have very few issues now with Windows 7 -- stable --runs fine and no issues with it whatsoever.

Have also been looking at a couple of tablets including Surface Pro RT and might get a test shot at a Surface pro as well so been busy with other systems currently.

Cheers
