Offline Updates

[stmx3]

I have a laptop which I've updated to the fullest extent possible
(both XP and Office). I plan on never again connecting it to the
internet. Most XP updates plug security holes which I'll no longer
worry about, but how can I download other updates for MS Office? Can
I download them to one pc, make a disk, and transfer it over? Or will
there be a validation problem (because I want to keep the laptop
"quarantined")?

Thanks!

Go ahead. No problem. Put it on a disc and install it to the computer of your choice.

Thanks. I was concerned because it seems I can no longer make any
upgrades to XP or Office without having to go through the Windows
Genuine Advantage verification process. Being able to download
directly to a disc seems to defeat the purpose of WGA.

Again, appreciate your help.
