SUMMARY

Cumulative update packages for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 contain hotfixes for the SharePoint Server 2007 issues that were fixed since the release of SharePoint Server 2007.

Note This is build 12.0.6520.5000 of the cumulative update package.

We recommend that you test hotfixes before you deploy them in a production environment. Because the builds are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security updates that were included with the previous SharePoint Server 2007 update package releases.

Important notes about the cumulative update package

The 2007 Microsoft Office hotfixes are now multilingual. Therefore, there is only one cumulative update package for all languages.
This cumulative update package includes all the server component packages. Additionally, this cumulative update package updates only those components that are installed on the system.
