Holger,
The combination of updates might vary slightly or be fairly unique between PCs, but the pool of files to draw from are all the same (based on OS).
For example, let's say there are eight updates - A B C D E F G H.
PC1 needs updates A C E G
PC2 needs updates B D F H
PC3 needs updates A D E H
PC4 needs updates B C F G
Each PC above has a unique combination of updates. If the updates were done in the order of PC1 through PC4, then PC3 and PC4 would get their updates out of the cache.

I didn't take a deep look into the current caching talk and into the ways you do the MS-update.
But: Do you only download the files or do you do the automated updates via Internet-Explorer?
If the last, has anyone tested that these updates are cachable? I could imagine that they are 'individualized' in a way caching does not work.
But again, I'm clueless there....
