Windows 10 gets all the publicity, but there's another potentially
unwanted "upgrade". Many of my customers have reported that when they
run a repair of Office 2013, it changes to Office 2016. In theory
that's a good thing, as Office 2016 is slightly less annoying than
2013. But older add-ins that worked on Office 2013 may not work on
Office 2016, and then the customer is forced to do without them or
pay for upgrades of those add-ins.

That's nice extra revenue for my employer, but it's unfair to the
poor users who did not ask to get a new version of Office that won't
support their existing add-ins. As far as I know, there's no easy way
to go back. Even if you restore from backup, you still have the
original problem that caused you to need a repair of Office 2013 in
the first place.
