Then, with nothing more than a simple batch script (if you like) one

integrate most of those patches - the actual hotfixes anyway - directly

the installation files and burn a new CD...

Thanks, but I don't think that was the intent of the OP when they
posted. The idea that we, as professionals, have to sit through 20
minutes of downloads per machine, or have to download, maintain a list,
and then update our library, is just getting a little old.

So, with almost 100 updates to install, it's about time that MS made
life simple and publish them under one single download, and they can
call it POST SP2 if they don't want to call it SP3.

I was already aware of how to get the updates individually, but the
point of the thread, at least the point I was reading, appears to be
that it's time for MS to make a single dist of the updates.
