WSUS Offline Update is voorzien van een update naar versie 6.8. Dit programma maakt het mogelijk om Windows-computers die over een trage of helemaal geen internetverbinding beschikken, toch van de laatste updates van Microsoft te voorzien. Door simpelweg een of meer besturingssystemen, officepakketten en talen aan te vinken, worden alle beschikbare updates van de ftp-server van Microsoft gedownload. Als de updates binnen zijn, wordt er naar keuze een iso-bestand per taal of per besturingssysteem van gemaakt. Via een cd of dvd kunnen dan vervolgens andere computers snel en eenvoudig worden bijgewerkt. WSUS Offline Update heeft ondersteuning voor Windows XP en hoger, en Office XP en hoger. Nieuw in deze release zijn onder andere ondersteuning voor SP1 voor Windows 7 en de mogelijkheid om de RC van IE9 te installeren.
