when refromating i can just load them all off a cd
instead of downloading them all?

I have the free CD on the way, does it included most
critical updates to like April? I looked at the link but
I really dont' know how much are on the CD. All I know
is that when I reformat I have to download like 50+
updates and its a real pain. Thanks for the help.

See the second link.

The CD includes WinXP-SP1, IE6-SP1 and all critical updates for
Win98-thru-WinXP through and including those released in Oct-03. After
running the CD, you'll be prompted to go to Windows Update to install
anything newer.
