I have read an article on the Microsoft site that Microsoft Update in Windows Vista will allow updates to be downloaded from one computer and distribute them to other computers across the network to save redundant update downloads.
Say if there were 5 updates and 3 computers, if each computer downloads a different update, will the 3 computers share their 3 different updates? Or will it be that one computer will download all the updates and then share them to the other 2?
Feel free to share your opinion...

Batch Updating
This will be available using Windows Update Server (the next version) which is coming out later next year I believe, along with Longhorn Server.
