Does anyone have a ballpark figure on how much bandwidth is used on average each month by Windows 7 for security updates / patches?

An average month would depend on how many updates (vulnerability) have been released in that month, My option would be around 50MB to 700MB a month.
One could look at the "Size" on the site of "Windows Update".
Or monitor their traffic to the domain
*.microsoft.com
Or
microsoft.com

I guess if I installed a fresh copy and then monitored the traffic as I download the updates that would give a good estimate. I was just hoping someone else would have done it first :) – Liam – 2010-07-15T09:19:59.463
