Brian, I had a lot of grief trying to download from this URL, if others are having
problems they may want to go here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...A6-7CB1-4F61-837E-5F938254FC47&displaylang=en

There is no scanning of your Office application on this site and there is a choice of
two different downloads depending on the trouble one is experiencing.

I had no issue at all. I just clicked on the link and it behaved perfectly.
It always wants to install the Outlook patch as well even though I don't
have Outlook installed and never have.

Worked fine for me as well. It did take some time tho - and I have
broadband.

Have all your install disks handy, it wants to see them all!

Not always - it will do its level best to install without the CDs (it is
much better about this than previous updates for older versions have been).

No, there is a 70mb update which is less likely to require the CDs. There
are still situations where it will ask for CDs, unfortunately.

I see they have pulled the "guarantee" from the download section. Yesterday
it said guaranteed no CD required. Sloan, the beta lead, has changed that as
of this morning

Never asked for the CD's at all.

Just installed quickly and was without any issues whatsoever.

 

[°°MS-Publisher°°]

I just used the Office Update link you posted and it needed no CD's.
Was all very seamless.
