Windows updates will only update Windows things (ie Windows RPC security fix or something in the kernel)
Microsoft updates will update all Microsoft products, Forefront signature files, Office security fixes, SQL fixes.
Since I am forced to admin Window servers (yuck) due to staff cuts, I am reading more about the command line. I have discovered some pretty good ones. Here are some of them

Something I have noticed, some commands use /flag, while other use -flag. Even if there is some madness to the method, it is pretty confusing.
sc qc rpcss
psexec \\computername sc qc rpcss
sc config rpcss obj= LocalSystem password= bob
Here is the command to change it back to the default setting
sc config rpcss obj= “NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService” password= bob
Today I spend an hour searching around only to find that you need to supply a password the LocalSystem account with a bogus password for the command to work.
sc config rpcss obj= LocalSystem does not work with the following output:
[SC] ChangeServiceConfig FAILED 1057:
The account name is invalid or does not exist, or the password is invalid for the account name specified.
