Does anyone see Office updates in Windows Update?

[Milhouse Van Houten]

About a week ago, a few Office 2007-related updates came out, and I see not
a one of them in WU (and since I don't do automatic updates, they're not
already installed). I DO have "Use Microsoft Update" checked.

Anyone else?

Dont you speficically have to tell WU to look for Office updates?
There's a yellow rectangle with a lightbulb in Windows Update and it says,
"get updates for more products."
Have you clicked on that link?

Hi Milhouse,

The office updates I believe come through Microsoft Updates (not Windows
Updates). You should have received them since you use MU. WU is for
critical updates only.

While I do have "Use Microsoft Update - You will receive updates for Windows
and other products from Microsoft Update" checked, in Vista the icon on the
Start menu that you click to get into updates is still called "Windows
Update." In XP, once you opt-in to MU you get a separate icon, but Vista
simplified it a bit and left it as one, as it probably should be. So it's
just the name -- I'm looking at MU, essentially.

Now, I should mention that I have gotten Office-related updates in the past.
The Outlook junk filter updates, and an update for application error
reporting, but nothing at all pertaining to the Office updates from last
week. It's very much like they forgot to push them out.

I tried going to the old Office Updates site, but for Vista it just runs
what I talk about above.

Not Office updates specifically, but other MS products in general, which I
have opted into (see my other response). I won't know if it's just me until
someone with Vista and Office 2007 installed tells me that they see last
week's updates.

Wow. Just, wow. They were finally pushed out TODAY, all five of them, a full
week after they were released via other channels.
