Is there one place that you can download ALL the hotfixes and updates at one time. I know about the diffrerent methods but I dont want to reformate just to download all the updates and the number thing then going to microsoft will take too long.

Is there any place that or if any of you have that I can download ALL the updates up to now including critical and recommended updates?
