Is there anyway of locating and manually downloading all updates that are
avaible. I would like to store these on a DVD for future use by other
people.
 
Just type the KB number into the MS search engine at the top of all MS pages,
and follow it through to info for IT Professionals. You then have your choice
to download for your respective OS.
 
Is there a list of updates currently avalible for Windows Vista

For security and other patches released for a given month :
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms##-***.mspx
Replace ## with the two-digit year
Replace *** with the three character month abbreviation

Providing there are releases for that month, you will see the list of "critical"
"important" patches for that month
Check on the 2nd Tuesday of each month - later in the day.

For just the current listing:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.aspx

FYI

Security updates are available on ISO-9660 CD image files from the Microsoft Download
Center
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913086

You can also download individual updates from the Catalog and save to be installed later.
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx

Click Add button for each update you want to download. Once you have what you want, Click
the "Go To Download Basket" link. Type in or browse to the location where you want the
updates saved to and then Click the "Download Now" button.
Once downloaded, you can then burn them to CD.
