MS Bulletins vs Automatic MS Updates

Why is it that Automatic MS Updates does not include the updates that are
listed in the MS Bulletins?
I am forced to manually search for the updates each time.
I'd appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

Windows version? Which updates aren't offered?

I apply the MS Updates in Windows 2000/2003 servers.
The listed updates when you run the MS Update does not include all of the
updates/revisions mentioned in the MS Bulletins.

Again, to which updates are you referring (e.g., MS08-003, MS08-005,
MS08-006, MS08-007, MS08-008 and/or MS08-10; not all of which apply to
Win2000)?

Are you updating these machines via Automatic Updates, Windows Update
website, or WSUS?

From the January 16, 2008 MS Bulletin, it includes the MS07-061 (KB943460)
update.
When I run the Microsoft Update, it is not part of the list of automatic
updates.
It list other updates, but it doesn't include KB943460.
I have to manually go to the MS Download Center to actually download and run
the updates.
I hope this clarifies my question.

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS07-061 – Critical: Vulnerability in Windows
URI Handling Could Allow Remote Code Execution (943460):
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../ms07-061.mspx

MS07-061 (KB943460) was released three (3) months ago on 13 Nov-07. (See
above page.)

MS07-061 does not apply to Windows 2000 SP4 nor is there a version of
MS07-061 that can be installed in Windows 2000 SP4. (See "Non-Affected
Software" section of above page.)

MS07-061 should be offered to machines running Windows 2003 SP1 and Windows
2003 SP2 (including x64- and Itantium-based). Note: This list does not
include Windows 2003 Gold. (See "Affected Software" section of above page.)

Are you stating that neither Microsoft Update (website) nor Automatic
Updates (cf. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327838) offers MS07-061 to
these qualifying machines?
