Why are the Security Updates for the 2007 Microsoft Office System (KB??????)

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:
Quote:
