Now hang on a second. I’m not saying download it and install right now. Like always, the service pack will be addressing a number of things that cumulative updates have in the past but this one is special (or dangerous 😉 as it is delivering some new features as well. So take the time to evaluate/test it in your development environments first, before thrusting it on production. Happy SharePoint’ing.
Some of the new features include:
- Site Recycle Bin (finally): http://blogs.technet.com/b/wbaer/archive/2011/06/28/service-pack-1-site-recycle-bin.aspx
- Storage Metrics: http://blogs.technet.com/b/wbaer/archive/2011/06/28/service-pack-1-storage-metrics-storman-aspx.aspx
