"Now waiting for news that blackhats have found a 0-day and are plonking malware into the update system that gets distributed far and wide and auto-installed, courtesy of Microsoft's "bandwidth saving" measures."
Not likely - that's why there is still 10% of traffic remaining after doing this - all catalogues, packages and signatures are still checked with Microsoft - its only the binary blobs that are cached.
