Ive had my fair share of issues with Windows and Office lately, more problems and blue screens are the last thing I need....
Big updates, this one is 256 MB, or there is a 172MB version and some others, don't usually come through windows updates. One will have to head to the windowsupdate site and download it dreictly. Or, there is going to be a CD release to all vendors, so you can get it through their sites and from them.
downloading is pretty painless though, on high speed it should take about 10 minutes tops
