Update requires that you quit update

Microsoft update requires that you quit Microsoft auto-update

I realize Microsoft AutoUpdate and any particular Microsoft Office update are two different executables but since the first launches the second, this dialog box strikes me as a plea for assisted suicide.

The fact that it always comes up makes me think Microsoft could have spent time on a more elegant solution.

That fact that the naming and iconography is so confusing that I’ve accidentally killed the update instead of the auto-updater requiring me to start all over again is infuriating.
