Their new website Microsoft Update Catalog ( http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/) is a good start but it miss some good filter functions. Admins want an easy way to download (locally) all updates until now for each OS. Keep Autopatcher alive !

I've used the autopatcher myself in the past on other machines and thought at the time that since it's not attached directly to Microsoft there could potentially be anything in the patcher. Perhaps a better approach on Microsofts part would be to team up in some way with the autopatcher team and make it available as an option on the MS site as a download.
