What folder does Windows Update download updates to

In XP the updates appeared as hidden folders in the Widows Directory, but
where does Windows Update download updates to in Vista?

Now that this is out, can we delete certain folders in "Software Distribution" in order to minimize the amount of files this enormous OS contains?

Thank, BC

this is my first post on vista head and the title says it all. i was wondering where vista stores this information so i can remove it and get windows vista to move on

Windows Vista keep downloaded and other related files in
%windir%\SoftwareDistribution.
I wouldn't mess too much with this folder.
You can turn off automatic updates in Vista, and if it's what you wish,
download and install manualy any updates that you see fit.
