Default Office Pro 2007

Hi everyone and thanks for reading, someone on here always seems to have the
answer.

I'm running XP Pro and had been using Office Pro 2003. I just purchased
Office Pro 2007 and started to install it. The box contained two discs. I put
Disc 1 in my drive and the installation wizard ran as I expected. When it
finished I registered and activated the software and rebooted the system as
it wanted me to.

Now I'm on MS website downloadng Office updates.

My question is .. what is on Disc 2? At no time has it prompted me to insert
it into the drive and there isn't any info on it in the box. Obviously once
the updates are finished I can put it in and see what's on it, but thought
someone might know and can tell me what to expect.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Jim

Far from bloatware. The reason not to install it if not used has nothing to do with
that (bloatware)

It's bloatware if you don't need it. I am sure all the programs (?) that
came on my wife's Toshiba laptop have a purpose to someone, somewhere.

Happy New Year,
