The big news for Microsoft today will be coming out of their annual TechEd conference that is happening right now and part of that news is that the Service Pack 1 for both Office 2010 and Sharepoint 2010 is headed our way.

It is slated for release at the end of June and initially will be made available as a manual download from the Download Center and Microsoft Update. Then within 90 days it will be available via Automatic Update.
