... and now I am without hair
A couple of days ago I launched Powerpoint ( Office 2011 ) and it told me it had an update for Office for Mac 2011 available.
When I confirmed to install the update, it told me it couldn't update unless I closed the following applications:
1) Powerpoint
2) Safari
I do understand number 1 Powerpoint, but I am deeply concerned about having to close Safari.
Why would Microsoft ask me to close an Apple application if it wants to update a Microsoft application...... Is there any hidden integration between the two ?
Have been researching about this and could not find anything. If I do, I'll post back.
It is not causing any issues, so all is well .... am just curious.
Does anyone have a clue ?
Cheers ... McBie
