Is it me or does MS release Office updates slower on second Tuesdaysof each month?

[Phillip Pi]

Hello,

Assuming there are Office updates for the second Tuesday of the month.
it seems like MS releases Office update slower than Windows updates. Has
anyone else noticed this too? If there is a pattern, then why the delays?

Thank you in advance.

Switch over to Microsoft Updates . MU has the Widows and Office Updates as Windows Update does not. It only has the Windows Updates and does not how Office Updates

MU doesn't do Office 2000 and 2002/XP (I think) the last time I checked.

Safe to say that Phillip is not using Off2000 or Off XP

Yeah, it only seems to work with the newer versions of MS Office for MU.

Then go to the Office Update site
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/default.aspx

 

[Phillip Pi]

Yes, I am using that location from Windows Update's Office Update link
(on the top). I go there, and then click on "Office Update" to
http://office.microsoft.com/search/redir.aspx?assetid=ES790020331033&CTT=96&Origin=CL100570421033
....

Anyways, the original issue was the slower releases of Office Updates
right after Windows' updates (e.g., patches/fixes).

I do not find it so. Office update re;eases are released usually at the same time as Windows Updates. What makes you say different or what have you noticed

 

[Phillip Pi]

Hmm. For an example with yesterday's release day (and previous
Tuesdays), Office Updates didn't show up at about 11 AM PDT even though
Windows updates were released. About a hour or two later, then Office
updates finally came up. I always they come out at the same time without
any delays.
