I have Windows Professional Xp Sp3 And Office 2007 installed. URL links for Office 2007 and Windows Xp3 are also needed.

This is a great idea, but when I integrated all of the updates (excluding Service Pack 1) for 64-bit Vista using vLite performance slowed to a crawl. My computer has 6GB of memory and a discrete Nvidia Ge Force 7600GS PCI-e graphics card. When I did a clean install with my RTM Vista DVD and installed SP 1 performance was considerably faster. I also did not experience any of the BSOD's related to using more than 3GB of RAM.

Excellent software, but outdated "Updates Lists" (ULs).

How is this different than the Windows Update Software that comes with the Operating Sytem and then is updated by MS whenever they believe it may be beneficial? Edited: Thank you Horsecharles for your excellent explanation. MS, of course, should have given us this explanation of it's use, and if it had done so, I would not have asked the above question in the first place. Because of your explanation, I have rerated this a 5 (the 3 was given in order to give it an average rating). Again, thanks.

Jane, you ignorant slut!!! If you don't know what a product is OR is for-- don't rate it UNTIL you AT LEAST learn something about it. SIMPLE...otherwise, it helps NO ONE. Say you just built a new system...or wish to have all updates in one place...maybe to slipstream...then this is for you... as Windows Update will ONLY give them to you in their entirety after numerous restarts & reconnects(& system restore points)...and that is if no bug / glitch / freeze pops up along the way... but if you'd prefer to sit in front of your screen for many hours, babysitting the process...feel free...

Thank you very much for this gem of a tool, after MS killed the autopatcher project, getting updates and storing them locally became a pain. Since I do lots of formats and reinstall of OS, I need to go through the painful process of updating over a slow connection time and time again. This utility saves me all the hassles.

Can be a good tool, but it doesn't notify that there are any hotfix-files and the downloader overwrite these files.

Great tool but its support is pitiful. At the time of this comment there are no Windows 7 Updates, Windows XP is four months behind and Office 2003 is 3.5 years behind. If you're going to put it out there and get people to use it, at least have the common courtesy to either keep it up to date, state on the site it's no longer supported or remove it from the internet. The program has been offering build version 2.50 for months even if version 2.50 is installed. Obviously a glitch in the site's programming or the program's update recognition routine. Such potential; such a waste of time. Better to use Windows Offline Updater. It works.
