Late Tuesday, Microsoft released version 11.6.0 of its Microsoft Office 2004 suite and version 12.2.6 of its Microsoft Office 2008 suite as well as version 1.6 of its XML Converter utility. The Office updates, which weigh in at 192 and 332 megabytes, respectively, focus on improving security for both suites, fixing vulnerabilities that could allow malicious code to overwrite portions of your Mac’s memory and run arbitrary commands.
The updates are free and available through the AutoUpdate programs and require Mac OS X 10.2 or later to run Office 2004 and Mac OS X 10.4 or later to run Office 2008.
If you’ve installed the updates and have any feedback to offer, let us know.

I installed the update and for some unknown reason Microsoft Excel was deleted from my harddrive. In the installation log file it never says “installing microsoft excel” but does for all other programs within the Office suite! What the hell happened?
