Not a problem if you're downloading the full updates, you can't download from the automatic update
site to another computer.
"Automatic Updates Downloads Cannot Be Installed on Other Computers"
The links for Windows XP for full downloads (below) - once you know what you want, scan your
computer, make a list and then download what you need.
Do the same for office updates - make sure you download the full files.

You can download them from the Catalog and save to be installed later.
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp
Click Add button for each update you want to download. Once you have what you want, Click the “Go To
Download Basket” link. Type in or browse to the location where you want the updates saved to and
then Click the “Download Now” button.
Once downloaded, you can then burn them to CD.
