Was just about to have a look at the latest download for this for MacOS, and found out it downloads a .pkg rather than a .dmg (which is how standalone apps typically install).
So, looking into the .pkg file I notice that it's also bundled Office16_all_autoupdate.pkg, which has a 'Microsoft AutoUpdate.app'. Inside the contents of that app is another app called 'Microsoft AU Daemon.app' which contains various M$ Root Certs and a string 'Microsoft Update Assistant launched'...
It's stunts like this which make me not trust Microsoft very much. I want nothing to do with Office, nor a one-stop-shop port of Windows Update. God knows what telemetry MS will try to upload with these products, but I'm not buying it.
