Are you on Win XP SP2? This will connect to windowsupdate v5 automatically
and offer different update option. Depending on availability and target
machine's patch status, the number of patches may vary. Also, consider
picking the customized option to see more (additional patches that may be
available and rated differently e.g. non critical).

Hope this helps.
