Im trying to get a figure for number of patches/updates Microsoft released in 2007 for XP and Office.

Anyone know how many or where to find the figures?
 
Use Windows Management Instrumentation Command Line from the command prompt for fixes:

wmic qfe list full

You can then right click the results, select all and copy into word, etc.
Each fix has an install date against it so you should be able to work out the number.

For Office I believe that there is an Office Inventory tool that should be able to do this, search for inventory.exe.
 
If you go to the Add/Remove Programs and click on the "Show Updates" at the top on the right then scroll down to the Office entries you should see some sub-entries showing how many are installed on your PC.

Or do you mean all the updates released whether you've got them or not? If you mean this you'd probably have to go to the Microsoft Downloads page and sort all the updates by date then go through and count them all.

Cheers. I was hoping for some handy little website that gave a figure but if I have to do it manually then so be it.
