at windowsupdate.microsoft.com is there a way to save all of those updates to disk/LAN/CD so I can run them locally instead of always downloading them to each and every PC?

As far as I know, "NO." Windows Updates are machine specific. You have to each machine at a time. Let the end user do the task. Each machine is scanned and then determined by Microsofts software which update is required. Only those will show inrecommendations. This is my understanding of the deal. Always check out FAQ's on website if you have not already done that. That may help you.

There's a foldercalled Windows Update Setup Files that's in the root of C where these files go. Just copy that folder up.

The other answers are fine , but if you simply want the download , look and see the name of the download and go to downloads which is a different area , and download it seperately , BUT make sure you get the documentation the goes with it. Unfortunately all systems are not created equal , and mine deletes all referance to the download after completed if an up date, so if I want it , I have to go get it in the download area , also , enable the view all updates to see what is already updated on your machine, to be able to chose those which already waded through (Sat through while reading "gone with the wind" three times), one other thing, you might have to request the download , as some are not updated on the download area. Luck
