I guess this is were we disagree.  I have not found that to be the case.  I
have Outlook 2000, Excel 2000, and Word 97 on my machines with windows XP
(home edition); they do not update automatically via Windows Update.  I have
to manually go to the Microsoft Office web site page and download the
updates.  What you say may be the case if one was using Windows XP Office
Programs with Windows XP operating system; but it is not so if one is using
other versions of Windows Office programs.  Hence the ALL is two strong a
word for your statement.

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   The latter is a newer
version of the Service Pack and includes a number of patches in it that were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?
