From: wm_walsh on 21 Apr 2008 12:51 Hi! Unless there is something that I don't know, Office Update is the *only* way to get updates for Office 2000 (and possibly Office XP). Microsoft Update definitely does *not* notice Office 2000 on any of the installations I've worked with. I have a single copy of Office 2003 that does get updates from Microsoft Update. William

You seem to be good at it (meant in a complimentary way not sarcasm). I think I read somewhere that software companies will give you free software for your reviews ( I guess tho you have to publish your reviews somewhere).

I wrote a longer post but feel that it's too off-topic so I deleted it. I'll just say that I have done reviews for free licenses. Feel free to e-mail if you want to discuss more. Thanks.

i have found that updates for computers with office 2000 or office xp do show up in when visiting update.microsoft.com once you have visited officeupdate.microsoft.com and followed through with at least one attempt to update office (and not get distracted/redirected by clicking microsoft update but staying on the path to office update only). i guess that once the office update plugins are installed then they are picked up when using update.microsoft.com. ymmv, but it does seems to work for me. office 2003 does not require this additional step to have updates appear with update.microsoft.com <wm_walsh(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:314e3189-3aa7-42b2-9d02-6821f5a68d3d(a)z24g2000prf.googlegroups.com... > Hi! > > Unless there is something that I don't know, Office Update is the > *only* way to get updates for Office 2000 (and possibly Office XP). > > Microsoft Update definitely does *not* notice Office 2000 on any of > the installations I've worked with. > > I have a single copy of Office 2003 that does get updates from > Microsoft Update. > > William |
