OSAP in Feature Pack?

Hi All!
From june announce from Microsoft i read the following:

"Microsoft Office Solution Accelerator for Proposals for Microsoft CRM:
Microsoft Office Solution Accelerator for Proposals (OSAP) for Microsoft CRM
enables organizations to create effective sales proposals and shorten
proposal generation cycles through powerful integration and collaboration
between Microsoft CRM, Microsoft Office and Windows SharePoint Services.

The integration between Microsoft CRM with OSAP enables Microsoft CRM users
to launch a proposal work site as well as select a proposal template
directly from a CRM Opportunity. With customer information transferred
directly from this CRM Opportunity (to the proposal site) data silos between
these systems are eliminated. This integration also enables Microsoft CRM
users to coordinate work since they can see related activities, view the
status of the proposal as well as link to the proposal site directly from
within Opportunities."

But in release FactSheet i see nothing about OSAP for MS CRM.
So i made a conclusion that it's not in Feature Pack now, is it right?

Thanks for advance

I have been waiting for this one as well. I am not aware of anything like
this having been released yet from MBS. If you are using Windows Server 2003
(not SBS though) check out the Information Bridge Framework (IBF) for Office,
which is supposed to allow you to do some integration between CRM and Office.
