QUOTE:  Microsoft has released a paper entitled "Windows Update Explained". It talks about what Windows Update is and how it works. There are no big surprises here for those already fairly familiar with the various Microsoft updating technologies, but it's good to have one simply-written description of what their various updating technologies are and what the important points are of how they work.

For instance, it talks about what the important default settings are, there's a brief description of WSUS (Windows Software Update Services) is and why you might want it, what the difference is between Windows Update and Microsoft Update, and some things you might expect to see in Windows Update over time, such as updates to the updating software itself.
