This is a good alternative to the now withdrawn AutoPatcher. Apparently, Microsoft shut them down because they were bundling the patches in to their download.

I tried this a few days ago and it generated ISO's for 2K and XP with all the patches. Makes re-installations go much faster.

in fact, Microsoft has been shutting down quite a lot of websites dealing with windows update.

however, windows updates can be still obtained here:
