the windows update (website) has become pretty neat and its nice and easy to
install updates except it doesn't seem to consider people with 2 computers
and a dial-up connection. how can i have it download the updates so i can
reuse those 40+hrs of downloading?

i've noticed that somethings like windows media player can be downloaded
separately, but what about the critical updates? thanks.
 
I have a question, I'm trying to download the updates for both winxp and
win2k and I initially downloaded to two different folders D:\WU\Win2k and
D:\WU\WinXP. I noticed that their own directory structure already has
x86win2k\ or x86WinXP\ and I was wondering if it is better to merge the
folders together?

I noticed an xml file D:\WU\Win2k & D:\WinXP and it contains the path that I
downloaded to. Is this xml file used for anything? I was planning on putting
the updates on cd so can install the updates at home, would that path make a
difference?
 
Where are the update files downloaded to and can one safely delete them once
they are installed?

Thanks.
 
If it ain't broke, don't fix it, Jeff! (Remember how quickly the first 37MB
went today?!)
