If the update profiles your system it can tell you what it has been tested against, then M$ can focus on testing the systems and apps that are used most, then get on to the rest later.
As soon as somthing is signed off as tested the update servers know about it and they can compare the realtime list against your config.
You could have a choice of using untested, beta tested or safe.
It would be MUCH faster!
Taking down the servers the black hats use is a good idea too, wipe them out like it was a war.
Screw the legal issues, get the DOD to DOS the bastards.
