Another instance of Carey speaking without knowing. The download links
are to the patches on Microsoft's server.

http://www.kurttrail.com/microscum/postsp2 is a list of all essential
updates to Windows XP from SP2 onward in chronological order with links
to the direct downloads from Microsoft's server.

The best reason to do the patching yourself and not rely on Windows
Update or Automatic Update is to cut out another layer of crap that can
go wrong in the patching process.

Take control of patching your OS with Common Sense Computing:
