Windows update does not update office, you have to go to officeupdate
for that.

Windows update is only for the base OS and components.

It also depends on what software you have loaded.  Windows Update checks
to see for updates to ALL of your Microsoft based software.

The really frightening thing is that for the base OS, Windows XP has had
the least number of security patches over the last 2 years.

There have been a continually increasing number of patches that have
come down the pike since the release of SP-1 (20+ would not surprise
me).  How many patches one needs to install in addition to the Service
Pack not only depends on how long a period has elapsed since you
downloaded and installed
the SP-1 but also if you installed it or SP-1a.   The latter is a newer
version of the Service Pack and includes a number of patches in it that
were not in SP-1 since they came out after SP-1's release during the
period between the release of SP-1 and that of SP-1a.  Of course any
patches that have been released since the release of SP-1a would have to
be downloaded and installed individually from the Microsoft site.

Ops,

I've just bought a new laptop with XP Pro, and after updating with SP1
from MS Win update site, there were still 20 more critical patches to be
downloaded.

There were a couple of XP patches but not 10.
SP1 addressed the security issues. Are you downloading the XP patches
directly from  Microsoft site?
