LOL....... I then used IE and got this:

Sorry!
The Product Updates site supports Office 2000 and Office XP only
In order to take advantage of the update detection service provided by the 
Product Updates site, you need to have Office 2000 or Office XP installed 
on your machine. For updates to earlier versions of Office please go to the 
<../Downloads/default.htm>Office Download Center.


Are they a great rip off or what. really earn their trusted reputation!
