This is one of those things that drives me nuts about Microsoft!

A screen like this:
I've been responsible, I've applied the latest updates, it then tells me I need to update Office, because they have a security risk in something that just displays a graphic! So I go to get the office update, and I get the above message. Listen morons, I installed the software then I put the CD on a shelf somewhere, guess what that shelf is in a different location to me, jeez, in some organizations people never even saw the CD!!! It's bad enough that Offices prompts for the CD every 5 minutes when I try to use a feature right there in the menu;, and people wonder why I still use SmartSuite, that's easy to answer, because when I selected install everything IT INSTALLED EVERYTHING!!!. Seriously, if this is a serious security risk, I should be able to install it without having to worry about having my CD handy and if I don't have my CD leaving Office in some useless state. Oh wait, that's how it installs by default...
