Allow users to hide office updates that we don't want. Please!

[trdltly]

The only two updates that I need are both useless for me. French updates "are
not" required on my machine nor should they be listed as "required" MS OS
updates would allow the user to hide "useless" updates such as these. Thank
you for making updates easy, but please don't force this kind of update.

The updates through http://officeupdate.com are intended to keep the entire purchased Office product complete and current, not just
the presently selected features/subset.

French, English and Spanish proofing tools are included
in the Office XP and 2003 product CDs.

To 'hide' any of the recommended updates you can use
http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate which provides both Windows and
Office XP/2003 updates, rather than http://officeupdate.com

You might want to consider Microsoft Update
(http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx) for the
WindowsUpdate-like functionality that you are looking for, plus a bonus
benefit of automatic updating of Office (and Windows) files.
