    I found a very neat website call windizupdate that gives you all of the microsoft security updates. The only downside is that they are released on the microsoft website before they are on windiz, and windiz doesn't include Office updates. Oh I almost forgot, it's compatable with firefox :)

    For those of you considering this, not only is it compatible with Firefox, it's compatible only with Firefox. You cannot use this site with an IE-based browser. Also, some of the updates are know to appear several weeks after release from MS, so it does carry an element of risk.

    Unless they have recently fixed this, I've used this site on a new build, and had issues on installing massive amounts of data. Typically FF would crash. But this was before FF 1.5.
