How Is Windows Update Different Than Microsoft Update?
While Windows Update provides you with updates specifically for Windows, Microsoft Update expands the service to provide updates for other Microsoft software, such as Microsoft Office and Windows Live. If you use these programs, Microsoft recommends that you use Microsoft Update to make sure all your programs are kept more secure, reliable, and updated with new features. When you sign up for the Microsoft Update service, the offerings you see in Windows Update expands to provide updates for both Windows and other Microsoft products, all within the same Windows Update control panel. This makes it easier than ever to keep your Microsoft software updated.
