WSUS 3.2 offers 34 unwanted language updates

How do I make them go away?

WSUS offers 34 language packs (Latvian, Arabic, Bulgarian, etc.) only for my
one Windows Vista Ultimate machine. These 34 updates are not offered for my
Vista Business or Win 7 Pro client machines. This is on a SBS2008 with
default settings, all products, only English language updates only.

Well, ideally if one did not want or need Windows Vista Ultimate Language
Packs, one would not have selected the Product "Windows Vista Ultimate
Language Packs" under the "Windows" product category.

Because they are, as the product category suggests, only applicable to Vista
Ultimate machines.

There it Is.

So now you're stuck with them.

[a] Unsubscribe from the product (and others you don't want or need as
well).

[b] Decline the updates.
