    my bad. I was working from this link:
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=FH;[LN];sp&

    which (is supposed to) show all the latest SPs for various products. I
    guess Microsoft hasn't gotten around to updating this page yet (or the
    underlying office page that it references
    (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q276367))
