windowsupdate.microsoft.com has been the default since windows 98 if i
recall. Get onto a windows 98 machine and click 'start' then 'windows
update', you will notice it connects to windowsupdate.microsoft.com , so
nothing is new. windowsupdate.com was just a 'portal' to the true update
site.
*sigh*

The first I ever became aware of windowsupdate.com was when this damn worm came out. Everyone's talking about windowsupdate.microsoft.com like it's news, but that's the site I've been using for as long as I've been admin'ing Windows.

I believe they've shifted to windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Amazing what a little bit of code can do.
