The Windows Update feature can be a convenient way to make sure you have all the latest patches and bug fixes that Microsoft didn't bother including in the boxed version of Windows. However, if you have more than one computer, or you have a slow connection, it can be tedious and quite inconvenient to be forced to download all the files over and over again. Although there's no mention of it on the Windows Update site, Microsoft has made all of the updates available for separate download (for installing later) here:
