My Civic might be getting a recall

Hot on the heels of driving it 700 miles, I read the following:

Honda Motor Co. said it was recalling more than 180,000 Civics from the 2006-2007 model year to fix a wheel-bearing seal that could leak and lead to a wheel falling off the car.

Office 2008 for Mac will use Apple standard installer

Thanks Microsoft! Can someone show Adobe how to do this? Anyone?

After talking about the issue in more depth, we discovered that in previous versions of Office for Mac, IT admins have needed to do all sorts of complex steps to get builds deployed out to their users. In fact, it was common for an IT admin to extract the bits from the installation cd, move things around, alter plist files, and more. Then they would roll it all back up into a .pkg format file before deploying it out to remote machines. Frankly, this is a lot of hoops to jump through and we want make the experience better.

To that end, I am happy to announce that Office 2008 for Mac will use the Apple-recommended Apple Installer technology for Office 2008 installation. This means that the data that Office installs will ship on the disc in .pkg format, installs will work well with Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) and will be Applescript-able. Once installed, the user has the freedom to move the Office folder to a different location on the system and Office will run from there. I hope that this will make Office for Mac configuration/deployment easier for IT admins.
