Is this an underlying stab at Open Office?

We are aware of larger Excel files taking longer to open.

At this time we are investigating ways to improve this performance.

After this update installed I attempted to open a very large Excel spreadsheet (22,358KB)and Excel locked up and I had to force close it through task manager. I attempted to re-open the same spreadsheed after a successful re-start of Windows and Excel still locked up. I then uninstalled the update. After unistallation was completed I was able to successfully open the spreadsheet. Making the Add-In a "high priority" update, so that it Auto updates on a system (if that option is selected) is a fail. It appears to be a bit buggy if it locks up Excel (as in my instance) This should be an optional update.

If you have a PowerPoint error after allowing Microsoft's recent batch of updates, read their notice and patch article posted at: blogs.technet.com/.../issues-after-installing-powerpoint-2003-update-kb2464588.aspx

or remove patch KB2464588

Is there any way this can block Flash in office files? I hope MS can save us from Adobe because it doesnt look like Adobe even cares about security in flash.

@save us

Here is some information on how you can stop ActiveX controls from loading inside Office applications.
