Hehehehe... pulling down the Service Pack 2 for Office 2000 Pro, and this is what the page looked like (hopefully they haven't fixed it yet):
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=25418
Basically, it uses a standard template that they use for all download description sheets. There are a lot of "Please replace this text with a brief description of this download." and such there where the important information should be. Somebody obviously didn't do their assignment and fill in the pertinent information.
Ah heck, I'll just cut and paste in case they fix it soon:
