The long awaited fix for the Outlook 2003 in-line attachments issue is included in the rollup.
Description of Update Rollup 3 for Exchange 2007
Additionally, the rollup includes the fix to the "Cannot open the free/busy information" error mentioned in my Managing Resource Mailbox Calendars Article.
I for one will be installing this rollup ASAP as we have been waiting for some of these fixes for quite a long time.

Script: Identifying Quota Bottlenecks
Quota increase requests are a frequent occurrence for me. Without blindly approving the request, I prefer to look for large folders within a users’ mailbox that could easily be archived (e.g. ‘Sent Items 05’ or ‘Archived Items’). I have used the following scripts to see the number of items and size of user mailbox folders.
The Exchange Management Shell offers some built-in tools to accomplish this task. Massaging the output makes it easier to identify quota bottlenecks. This script can be run from any computer with the Exchange Management Shell
The Script:
The Output:
The attached VBScript must be run on the mailbox server hosting the user’s mailbox. It connects to the IFS drive and evaluates the size of each folder in the user’s mailbox. I modified a script previously published by Glen Scales and adapted it to output the name and total size of the folder to the command window.
