I know there are several users here that regular do a (re)install of there computer Windows. I found this nice tool for downloading the necessary updates and create DVD images of these.

Warning: when using this tool you will have big downloads (in the GB's range) so careful choose the OS and Office Suites needed with there language options.

the following updates could be also big (depending on Microsoft updates), it will only download the newly needed updates.

So with this tool, you can bring the recent updates (archived) back to the freshly installed computer even when your offline (or if the service for that product is no longer there  )

It's very useful if you have a slow connection at home...
I've burned a DVD with all updates at work (100 Mbit+) and installed all updates at home (64 kbit).

It is also very usefull when the updates are no longer there from Micro$oft. At certain point in time the support for certain software is no longer there. I run the tool on a monthly basis and burn them to  rewritables. In case of emrgency, i still will be able to update to the latest update there was, even if Micro$oft no longer provides them.
