Office 2010 Security Baseline in the tool by clicking

Microsoft Office blog broke the news that the Office 2010 beta will expire on Sunday, October 31, meaning that all installations of the software will stop working the night of Halloween. Launched almost a year ago, the Office 2010 beta has proved very successful, according to Microsoft's figures, triggering 9 million downloads, more than six times the number seen by the Office 2007 beta.
Quin Nikel: With today's news from the Windows team announcing the availability of the Windows 7 Service Pack (SP) 1 later this month, some of you may be wondering when the Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 SP1 will be available for download. Microsoft typically releases a service pack 12 to 18 months after a product is launched and you can expect that same timeframe for Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010...
From the Microsoft Office IT Pro Blog: The Security Solution Accelerators team recently announced the release of the new Office 2010 Security Baseline that can be used with the Security Compliance Manager tool!
New users can access the Office 2010 Security Baseline by visiting the Microsoft Download Center to download the Security Compliance Manager tool.
Existing users can access the Office 2010 Security Baseline in the tool by clicking the Tools menu, and then clicking Check for Baselines.
Microsoft has announced that they are on schedule to deliver the first service pack for Office 2010 in mid-summer 2011. SharePoint 2010 will also be updated at the same time.
As reported by the Microsoft Office Team Blog, Office 2010 SP1 will update all 40 SKU languages for Office. Microsoft will also update 4 Language Interface Packs: Galician, Basque, Catalan, Serbian Cyrillic.
Office 2010 SP1 will be a cumulative update. That means it will include any updates that have already been publicly released for Office 2010. Furthermore, SP1 will feature a number of new fixes and changes for each product. These will be revealed at a later date.
