From: "Dave Ings" 

What kills me about Office (2000) is that almost every service update
requires the CD(s) to be inserted in an accessible drive. And given the
complete suite is spread across multiple CDs, there is no way to easily do
an unattended install, as I was reminded of again two weekends ago, when I
built a new system from scratch and spent about two hours swapping CDs in
and out.

Once again the honest customer (me, all my licenses are legit) is
penalized, while the dishonest person is undoubtedly completely unaffected
by this, given all the cracks available on the Web.
