Great if you're running a windows IT type LAN; crap if you're running an ISP! http://www.advproxy.net/ - its a Squid distribution for ipcop with an optional Windows update cache redirector. I don't know how well it'll scale but it seems to work fine for small home/office environments. You can always get an Akamai cluster :) That'll serve windows updates to you, amongst other things. That said, I know how to make Squid properly cache stuff like Windows Updates; I just need some spare time over the new year to code it up. Sponsorship to make it happen sooner is definitely welcome.
