So we've come to the end of the year and just when you though that you'd wait for a while before updating SharePoint again we have a new update. Well actually this is quite important since from January if you still have note moved to at least service pack 1 for SharePoint you'll be told by MSFT support to get your deployment upgraded.

So what's in this update. (I haven't had time to test these out in length but here is a round up anyway)

Like I mentioned in my previous posts these updates provide the base framework for future enhancements and are related to stability and performance. Refer to my earlier post about how to apply the updates.

Blog post about December SharePoint Cumulative updates from the SharePoint team blog.

Please note that if you are installing/deploying a brand new SharePoint farm make sure that you include all the updates in your build. This ensures that you have all the required updates from day one.
