What was crap ???

MS Office is meant to be an end user ...easy to use product. The updates
are meant to be virtually automatic and seamless in their installation.

Or do you consider the nice 9 option "solution" something an end user (most
likely a home or at best SOHO user) should have to contend with.

You also didn't address the point about the solution which included
switching off the firewall. In Micro$haft's own words: "We do not
recommend this workaround but are providing this information so that you can
implement this workaround at your own discretion. Use this workaround at
your own risk." Yet without following this step as 'recommended',
presumably MS would refuse to provide further support to the problem?
