Dynamics CRM 3.0 Update Rollup 1 news

This update will allow customers to run Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 with Office 2007.

This update will allow customers to run Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 with Windows Vista.

The update will switch the Microsoft CRM Laptop client for Outlook from an MSDE database to a SQL Express database (Office 2007). This means you can now take 4 GB of data offline with you, instead of the current 2 GB that MSDE supports.

The Outlook add-in will be much more integrated than the current add-in for Outlook 2003.

This update will include approximately 100 fixes previously available only as individual packages, and only by calling support.

This update will be released publicly via the Microsoft Download Center (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads), with a target date Nov. 15th, 2006.

UPDATE: This Update Rollup does not address CRM v3.0 Client compatibility with Windows Vista and/or Office 2007. Update Rollup 1 is meant to provide a streamlined way to deploy existing CRM 3.0 hotfixes. So the red marked text isn't right.

Here’s a Microsoft blog posting that does discuss CRM v3.0 Client compatibility with Windows Vista and/or Office 2007.
