Microsoft is offering a free cdrom with all security updates (thru oct 2003) It says it is available fror "Windows XP, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows 98, and Windows 98 Second Edition (SE)" When I ordered mine it didn't ask what os so it either detected my WinXp or one cdrom has the updates for all the os. Plus it has a free antivirus and firewall (i am assuming it is the free e-trust they have been giving away). You can read the article here.
and you can order the cdrom here.

I read it to be that the antivirus and firewall are trial versions. It appears that the security update comes on 2 CD, at least from what I can gather from the confirmation page.
Product name: Win Update 2004 English NA Feb Direct 2CD Windows Security Kit
I would guess that it has for all operating systems on it.
This is a great find. Thanks!!!
Also available for UK and Australia, for now.
Free loot from MS.
Can't let that pass by unheeded. :D
Tried to order CD. I am not authorzied to view the page. Very nice.
The same CD works on all operating systems. It's a 2-CD set, CD#1 is the security updates and CD#2 contains the freebie/trial stuff.Quote:

That'll make reloading a little faster from now on. Of course, it doesn't really take all that long to download 50MB of updates from MS. I don't think I've found any site that can spit data out faster than windowsupdate.
Finally was able to order the CDs..party
got mine and the free AMD 64 bit XP cd coming
What?Quote:

It's good for 360 days, but shipping to Canada costs 7.80$ (Standard) and 24$ (Express). :(

pised off now , coz i hav,nt got a workin cd rom
Mine still not here. gonna order it again.
I received a shipment confirmation from Microsoft on the 19th. They quote 7-10 business days for receipt of the update set.

Ordered today. Lets see how long it takes them.
I bet you will get it from your first order. I just got my delivery confirmation today. They are probably way behind on shipping since it was a completely free CD.Quote:
