    You probably have the Word, Excel, and/or PowerPoint viewers installed.

    Or there are files related to Office 2k7 that came installed with Vista
    present in one or more of the Program Files\Common Files\ subfolders.

    IF there are *any* issues related to such updates, MS offers *no-charge*
    support for them. From *each* KB article for Security updates for Office:

    > How to obtain help and support for this security update
    > For home users, no-charge support is available by calling 1-866-PCSAFETY in the United States and
    > Canada or by contacting your local Microsoft subsidiary. For more information about how to contact
    > your local Microsoft subsidiary for support issues with security updates, visit the Microsoft
    > International Support Web site:
    > http://support.microsoft.com/common/....aspx?rdpath=4
    > North American customers can also obtain instant access to unlimited no-charge e-mail support or to
    > unlimited individual chat support by visiting the following Microsoft Web site:
    > http://support.microsoft.com/oas/def...spx?&prid=7552
    > For enterprise customers, support for security updates is available through your usual support
    > contacts.
