Out of curiosity, do you trust WSUSoffline the program? Should I?

Look at it this way, you can choose NOT to
run a copy of that and collect updates for
a rainy day, and then have NO clean updates
if you need to reinstall the OS.

That's your choice, of course.

Once the Cumulative Update system is in place,
we might have very few choices concerning patching
up fresh installs of the OS.

That's why I keep these handy. It's an option
if there ARE no other options.

If Microsoft would leave Windows Update alone,
I wouldn't NEED to "wear both a belt and suspenders"!
But suspenders look cool, and a belt is a structurally
sound device for holding your pants up.
