Nerd question re: Windows

[theacoustician]

Is there a quick list of all the published updates to WinXP since SP2 with links to download the patch/update?

Formatted kinda like

KB2394823476 Windows Security patch 7/1/05 Link
KB2324323872 Windows Security patch 6/28/05 Link

Digging through the entirety of the Windows update site to cull this manually rather blows.

I thought windows update was already pretty easy to maneuver through

The automatic one is. I need the updates manually. I'm playing with this http://www.nliteos.com/

edit: We use a service called Patchlink which picks up all of the available updates and then we go through and approve/deny the ones we want to work with.

There is an app that you can use in combination with N-Lite that will connect to the internet and download all hotfixes, before the OS even boots the first time, but here is the link you're looking for.

edit: It's XPCreate, which is also at msfn (along with NLite)

Speaking of nerd windows stuff, I just got a Microsoft Press: Desktop Deployment book for free from the class I went to. I can't wait to read it.
