Si,

I would just stick to the security and service pack upgrades for now. I find that Office XP has more stuff than I'll ever need, but it is good to know that there also a lot of other useful, free, addons. I guess it all depends on what you use office for.

Basically, I just keep an eye on the updates page for anything I *might* need in the future, i.e. just remember it is there for that time when I do *need* it.

I went through the "download everything" phase with Office 2000. Turned my installation from bloatware into super-duper-take-twice-as-long-as-original-to-start-ware ;)

If you get me drift.

Cheers

Ian
