Beavis,
That still doesn't allow you the same access, esp. if you're trying to get updates for an operating system that your not currently running.

Hi All,

A very useful URL was given to me today. It allows all of the Windows updates to be browsed and downloaded to a location like a normal download and applied when you want, rather than having to put up with Microsoft deciding for you what updates THEY think you should have and when.

The key to this is ridiculously simple - the "?corporate-true" at the end of the URL:


http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp?corporate=true

Allows batch downloads by SP level

- Handy..

Regards,
James.
