How many patches has MS released?

[superjet]

Hello all,
I am trying to show my CEO how much of a pain in the butt it is to keep up with Microsoft's patches and critical updates.
With that being said, does anyone know how many patches and updates have been released for Win2K to this point?
Obviously there are 4 Service Packs, but how about the separate ones.

Thanks for the answers.

Not sure exactly how many, but mine has had 24 "critical updates" installed since 19 September this year when I SP4'd it and SP1'd IE6, although that includes are 2 for IE6 SP1, 1 for Media player 9, 1 for outlook express 6 SP1 and an updated driver for my Logitech webcam.

of course even knowingthat doesn't mean that other options are better, as far as i know, there is not one product out there that has never has upgrades or patches of sme sort, except where the developers just got lazy.

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every moment of it.
