The above location has an article about Microsoft's 'killing' the OGA requirememnt. You can stop supporting/requiring it in AutoPatcher. :D

hum... this one is at the office addon package. i will not remove this one right now, because my concern is related to MU. i really have a lot of doubts about if ms will quit the requirement for this one at wu as well or will just update any pirated version without any worries. right now, free time to test this is an issue, but i'm going to vacations Thursday (it should be Friday, but well planed vacations us to give you a few extra days, since in fact, my vacations should start Monday). so, in a few days i will be doing an test to be sure that ms will not ask for something else, besides oga to run MU. i'm not sure what will happen if i remove this one from my system, but since in the worst case scenario i will be forced to deploy this one again, i will try that too

i know that. my concern is related to how MU will react, if it will ask for something be deployed or something else. right now, i'm finishing the deployment of an clean vm. tomorrow, i will to an test related to MU to be sure of that. i've forgot that i don't have this one into my system, so i can't test it at once

and about my vacations... gone, at least, at the last working day of this year. oh well...
