Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac 12.2.5 Update

Whoa! I just sort of clicked on the updater, figuring on the usual 60-second download. That was half an hour ago -- and I have a cable modem. Hard to believe they needed to totally replace that much code. Glad I'm not in charge of updating a network of 100 Macs.

333 mbs is better than I'm getting...it's telling me it will take up 541.7 mbs of space! Half a gb for a security update??????? I think I'm going to hold off until I hear more about this. This is the kind of thing that makes me really wish that Apple office was more sophisticated!!

I'm attempting to install the Microsoft Office 2005 for Mac 12.2.5 Update, the type is critical that was released June 8 2010 .. when the system gets to "Installation" the running AutoUpdate Installer script that appears showing the progress using the blue strip as it's preparing Office 2008 12.2.5 Update has no movement whatsoever. It's been well over an hour and I took down all applications. Does it take this long!!! to install the Word Update?! It's just the slight vibration of the blue strip and that's it. Any suggestions??

There's an update for Office 2004, too. Only 9.6 MB for that one.

So, who says they would overwrite with MALICIOUS code?!? What if they were going to overwrite with something nice?

I can say that the update greatly reduced the startup time of all Office programs in my installation of Office 2008.

200 MB for a "security update?? That's outrageous. No other Mac program does this to their customers. Besides, hasn't Microsoft heard of sparkle?

It is good to see these smaller companies continue to support their applications:)

What's this Office app? Some new upstart?
