Warning: YAMRIC

YAMRIC = Yet Another Microsoft Rant Is Coming!  I just installed SP2, Critical Updates and IE 6.  Guess what: FrontPage 2000 must be a part of the Operating System now since SP2 includes: "FrontPage 2000 Non-HTML File Save Update".  Um... Hello DOJ?  Can you please tell me why Microsoft is using a service pack for the Operating System to update Office?  Yes, perhaps this was dynamically customized to my system but:

  1. I didn't tell it to mess with my Office files.
  2. It gives the appearance, if not the reality of huge abuse of power.
  3. Why can't third party developers like AOL have Microsoft include their updates with SP2?  Why isn't the latest radio.root file with sp2?

Is anyone awake in Redmond?  Or are you all so blindly arrogant that you think that whatever you do you can get away with.  You'd think that someone would review install programs with respect to "Are we doing anything that might get scrutiny even if it's not illegal".  Sigh.
