Land Desktop 2007 Service Pack is HERE

For those of you who know me, you know I have been holding back my words regarding Land Desktop 2007 here on this blog.

Basically, there were problems.

BIG problems with Land Desktop 2007. I am being nice.

I would say more, but I know my friends (the good people in Manchester) read my blog when the mood strikes and I don't want to discount their hard work. Because I do appreciate what they do. I mean it.

Perhaps I can finally take the Land Desktop 2007 install DVD out of the trash, since SERVICE PACK ONE IS HERE.

Go get it at:

The big news about this is that now those of you who have been putting off using Civil 3D 2007 because you knew your ongoing LDT projects would suffer should be in good shape.

Perhaps, give the LDT service pack a few weeks to digest, then install.

Here is what it says it will fix: (I quote from the README)
