Yes visiting Windows Updates will 'patch' the OS, browser, directX, and MS office components as well as others. Messenger I am not sure about. You could visit the link below and get the latest version:

you can also search by product/name here for possible updates to MS products:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx
You could also use the auto update feature in Windows to check for and download the updates automatically.
Drives use firmware but unless you are having a specific problem then its not necessary to apply the latest firmware.
firmware would come from the component manufacturer, not from MS
