Microsoft Update?

[Steve Coffman]

Well this is interesting as it is humorous.
My wife's system came down with a virus and I did a full wipe and re-install. We are still using Win98 on the desktops since we are both avid game players. I absolutely refuse to use Outlook in any form (I use Eudora), and I have not used "Infection Explosion" (IE) since version 4.0 ( I use Opera).
Anyway, I re-installed the Office 97 sr2 on my wife's computer and then went to the Microsoft Update site for any security patches.
This was my response from MS (LOL):

To find the updates you need faster and easier,
visit this site with MSN or Internet Explorer.

The Office Product Updates site can perform detection on your computer and tell you exactly which updates you need! To take advantage of this service, please visit the site with MSN Explorer or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later. If you are already using Internet Explorer 5.0 or later and you are using a personal firewall product, your personal firewall product may be interfering with browser detection. Please turn off your personal firewall product and then try visiting this site again.
Internet Explorer can be downloaded from the Microsoft Internet Explorer Homepage.
Search for Office Product Updates on the Office Download Center.

Are they really that stupid? Never mind, rhetorical question :)
