According to the article at http://www.techworld.com/applications/news/index.cfm?newsID=6676&pagtype=samechan Microsoft will be replacing Software Update Services (SUS) with Windows Software Update Services (WSUS). It isn't as dramatic a move as the headline "Microsoft kills SUS update software" would imply but I guess the headline did its job because I read the article and am now letting you know about it. :)

I have long wanted to set up a SUS server to conserve bandwidth at home rather than having 3 or 4 machines each downloading the patches but haven't gotten around to it yet. If I do now attempt to set one up I will be sure to let you know how it goes.
