Like a happy and supportive hygeinic software user, I found this notice about updating my Mac Office Software and dutifully downloaded the update.
Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac 11.4.0 Update - The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)
After much hard drive whirring, I was treated to this dialogue box:
When I read the “ReadMe” it said to figure out which version of the software I was running. I did that, and oh, I may not have updated the last 2-3 updates. So I went and downloaded those. Same process. Same dialogue box:
(actually it’s not really a dialogue, it’s one-way communication).
5 updaters later, there is no upgrading happening here. Can’t a combo updater be produced? I don’t understand what the purpose of creating an updater is if no one can actually use it.
At this point I only use Micrososft Office to open others’ documents. And that’s becoming rarer and rarer. Hello iWork.
Office is over. The need for diversity that exists today will drive it out of ubiquity. The closest thing I have to office is whatever iWork and OpenOffice can render of other people’s documents.
I love the efficiency with which you make sense of things. You are my favorite blog commenter (shh, just keep this between us :)).
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
