I'm running 2.4Stable6 and while Windows Update seems to work reliably, it
does appear to "hang" on the "0%" screen as it checks for available updates.
It will eventually find the updates available and continue on with normal
functionality, but it often takes well over 5 minutes.

Spot checks of non-cached machines show a near-instantaneous load of
available updates.

Care to list your other methods? It'd be nice to have it work fast,
especially considering its the more practical way to get incremental updates
for most Windows versions.
