Missed the rest of this thread but the one that comes to mind is the autopatcher project, unfortunately they are usually a couple of months behind but it's a quick way to get "mostly caught up" from a fresh build with a single process.

Hmmm, it appears that Microsoft is doing there is: Every month, they take all the critical updates, for every Windows release and every language, and put them in an ISO image. So I'd have to download all the patches for every Windows for every language since Vista SP1. Doing the math, I'd have to download *12 gigabytes* of images. What would be ideal for my purposes in that vein would be all the patches-to-date for a given language and Windows in a single image. Still, a potentially useful resource. Thanks! I'm still investigating some of the other options posted, like MBSA and the TechNet bulletin page. If anyone else has more ideas, please post! And thanks for all the ideas so far!
