Is there a place on MS' web site that somebody can see a list of all updates,
filter by OS (i.e. XP), and download them individually?

Otherwise, how does one obtain the indivdividual updates with descriptions?

Are they redistributable? by an OEM?

Thx,

Hi Rick,

Use the Windows Update Catalog site:
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp

For further information on using Windows Update Catalog, have a look at this
MSKB article:
How to download updates and drivers from the Windows Update Catalog

Thanks Patti and Carey,

That helps. Are either of you aware of any web service or RSS feed that
would allow me to programmatically pull update ID, category, description,
severity rating, download size, download URL, etc.?

Thanks,
-Rick
