Hardware issues after Office install

[#1]

Was wondering if anyone has suffered hardware issues after pushing an Office
2008 image? 3 black MacBooks all suffered the same hardware issue after
Entourage finished transferring data from Office 2004. All computers hard
drives failed. I'm a little concerned and don't know whether it's just a
coincidence or if I should continue with the upgrade? Any feedback would be
greatly appreciated.

Unless software includes some sort of firmware change, which Office does
not, software cannot cause hardware problems. I suspect your MacBooks are
probably from the same batch of machines within the same order and that you
are experiencing an endemic hardware issue with the machines themselves.
