I always image immediately BEFORE I permit a Patch Tuesday, and especially before emergency patches.

Agreed! I got in the habit of doing that in back in XP, since Windows Updates (even selectively applied) hosed the system on more than one occasion.

I bought MSO2013 via the home use program at work.

In the past there was an option to download to MSI and burn to DVD. NOT! this time.

There is no second install now option after ‘click to install’.

It immediately takes over your previous Office Installation.

I, too, was mightily annoyed by that, but you can download the Office 2013 trial version (a 666MB .img file), burn it or mount it as a virtual drive, and you have complete control over your install options. I entered my HUP activation key, and it accepts that.
