update rollup after new installion of XP SP2 OEM

[Akash from South Africa]

Where can I find an ongoing list of concise updates to Windows XP SP2 OEM
after a new installation so that I can constantly slipstream a new integrated
CD when new updates are available. I basically need a bulletin summary from
knowledgeable people (guys who have tried and tested) in the field. i.e.
besides Microsofts Technical Bulletin summary I need some explanation if need
be and if any updates have been updated then need some info on that as well.
Your help will be extremely appreciated.

Thanks Kurttrail, I have tried this link before, however a few thing still
bugs me.

After searching http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.aspx with
the following:
Product : Windows XP Professional
Service: Pack Windows XP service Pack 2
Update Severity Rating: All ticked
Bulletin release date: All

These issues bug me:-
Bulletin MS03-011 - do I really need to install this after XP SP2?
And SP2 includes up to bulletin MS04-025, what happens to MS04-026 to
MS04-037 – does none of the interim bulletins affect XP SP2?

That is a very good question, but one I really don't have a definitive
answer for. My guess would be that MS didn't put the MS VM fix in with
SP2 because of its agreement with Sun over Java. I would think it
couldn't hurt to include it.

Make sure you have the box "Show only bulletins that contain updates
that have not been replaced by a more recent update" checked. These
bulletins don't show up for me with that box checked.
