Despite the fact that there are not a lot of info about the upcoming Microsoft 2007 Sp (Service Pack), it looks like some good willed guy living in China has leaked it on BitTorrent tracker sites. The new SP is labeled KB953195 while its version is 12.0.6416.1000. We don’t really know if this version is the final RTM (Released To manufacturing), but from the license terms we can read that it is a pre-release while  the EULA ID  has got  the word beta in it (012.0_B2TR_PRE.0_BTA_EN).

Here are the complete description of the leaked Microsoft Office 2007 SP2:
