  Windows Update keeps tabs on all system software
Time: 13:35 EST/18:35 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Bill Roach

When patches are downloaded, a few kilobytes of data are sent in the opposite direction over a secure SSL channel. Because the data is encrypted a simple packet sniffer can't be used to see what this data contains.
