WIN SP1
IE9(IH U REALLY CARE )
Office Service Packs.
Microsoft Fix It Centre
MS Windows 8/Dev Preview!

Although expect trials of their premium products and Service packs/Update i dont thnk there is anything else useful.

Keep windows automatic update on forget about MS Download centre if your just hunting there for updates/service packs.
It will take care of updates for all ms products installed on pc.

Search for Sysinternals tools like, Autorun and Process Explorer. Really useful tools from the Center.
