It would be handy to have the ability to patch more than one OS at a time. Say you dual boot or you put a OS HDD from a different PC as a second drive.

Impossible as WOU needs a running Windows OS to determine the installed and the missing updates.

There is a way to do this.
The only requirenment is that both operating systems are Windows 7 (Running & offline (to patch)).
I wrote a script which is able to determine and install Updates on Windows 7 from a Windows PE 3.1 environment.
There is only one problem, I only tested it on x86 systems. I don't know if it is working un x64.
If I shoud reupload the script and post a link, just write3 an answer in this topic.
