MS Update: Office 2007 SP1 is 620 megs, but it's 220 megs???

Microsoft Update is telling me that it wants to download a 619.7 megabyte
Office 2007 SP1, but if I attempt to manually download the same service pack
from Microsoft's downloads, it's only 218.3 megabytes.

When I installl the 220 meg SP1 manually, the Microsoft Update notification
goes away so apparantly the 220 meg version is "good enough". What is in the
400 meg difference between these two service packs?


I'm not sure, but it looks like this may be a bug. The Microsoft Update info
window for the 620 meg has a link to an info page about the file -- which
shows the 220 meg version?

The MS Update info popup window was dynamic, so I cannot give a direct link
to it. Instead here is a screenshot of the window:

border="0"/></a>

And here is the link at the bottom of that window going to the 220 meg
version:

Buh?
