I noticed just this past week there been a release of MS updates for the O/S and Office. When can we expect autopatcher to update with this newest release? I gone and downloaded it from windows update but downloaded each individual file for standalone install I don't like windows update doing it for me when I can do it myself.

the xp enu and ptb releases already have all those. as for vista/seven scripts, they will be updated shortly, but there's not an specific date to that

oh yes, all the updates related for the .net already was added, except for one (aiming x64 systems), but this one will be added today. as you know, updates for .net goes to the .net script, doesn't matter if they aim vista or seven

Patch Tuesday is the second Tuesday of every month, I would give the guys at least until the weekend before expecting a solid script (no errors) and all is well.

It helps for the early downloaders to report errors. Also, expect a few edits to be made so plan on running APUP a few times after Patch Tuesday. If you download early and don't show up until after next Patch Tuesday you may miss an important fix.

Btw, these are my opinions only

I already know the autopatcher will get the updates just wanted to know if they won't be to long a delay before autopatcher does it updates to reflect the windows updates.

Short Answer! - As soon as the release maintainer posts on the hotfix page - 'release / script updated' - example 1! - example 2!. This came 1 day after Patch Tuesday but...

I also said there may be bugs to work out initially - example 1! - example 2! - example 3!.

So, wait 3 or 4 days after Patch Tuesday before updating (to be assured most if not all the bugs are discovered) or, be an early updater (to help test and report any problems with the scripts). Sorry if I'm not understanding your question

Another good place to look - the APUP Available Releases window - a new date should mean an updated release, it might also mean a fixed release.
