This doesn't help you now, but the www.susserver.com site and others report
that the next version of SUS [2.0] will push out MS Office patches to
supported computers [windows 2000, XP, 2003]. Should hopefully be available
sometime 1Q or 2Q 2003 [though there is no official release date yet]. When
SUS 2.0 comes out, you just need to update your SUS server, the clients
update themselves or may already be at the correct version level.
