Today Microsoft issued an AutoUpdate for Office Mac 2004:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/autoupdate/description/0409MSau010001.htm

I am wondering why developers are working on an update to fix the
progress bar of the AutoUpdate, instead of working on reducing the
number of crashes per day on their software.

I use Word and Excel heavily every day, and at LEAST once a day I
experience a crash. I've been submitting reports to Microsoft daily,
too.

Does anybody else have a similarly bad experience? I'm running OS X
10.3.5 on a new Powerbook with 1 GB RAM and 8 GB free HDD...
