I just discovered today, during my Internet travels, that earlier this year Microsoft decided to release what they call a "convenience update rollup" full of the 200+ updates that they released for Windows 7 since they put out Service Pack 1 through April 2016. Although they're not calling it such, it's basically the equivalent of a Service Pack 2. However, they're not making it available through the regular Windows Update client; it's only available through the Windows Update Catalog.

Personally, I'm glad to see that Microsoft has done this -- because the last two times I had to reinstall Windows 7 on my own compy I had an awful time with Windows Update at first, having to let it auto-install all the initial updates in the background so I couldn't see its progress. It'll be good to be able to do all that offline next time.
