Microsoft won't give third-party applications access to Windows Update - which is a terrible shame, because they would be on to a very good thing if there was a one-stop shop for security patches for all Windows programs - much like what exists already for the majority of Linux distributions (and they say Linux is less user-friendly than Windows!). Not even all Microsoft programs are available via Windows Update - have you applied all the recent patches to Office? They don't show up at all. It's in the column on the left on the front page of mozilla.org, under Latest News.
At least my windows update will tell me about these patches. For Moz i have to read about them on ww. Its not even publicized on the firefox home page.
