Q1- The clients get the updates from SMS server, not directly from
Microsoft.com (windowsupdate).
Q2 - The client keeps a copy of the downloaded files in its cache, even
after the program is installed. The cache by default is 250 MB in size.
SMS will remove aged files from the cache if it needs more space. If one
download exceeds the total cache size available, the download will fail and
you'll get a status message indicating the failure and the reason for the
failure (too small cache).
Hope that satisfies your curiosity... If not, ask more questions, I'll be
happy to answer...
