I stopped using Microsoft for that kind of update a long time ago.  I'd
rather get it from the horse's mouth.

Umm.... Context?

First off, you can control whether or not drivers are available for
download
via Microsoft Update.   Better yet, you can control this through WSUS
even
more easily.

Also, the drivers that are available are written by the vendors in
question,
not Microsoft.  They are simply provided at Microsoft Update for
convenience
to all concerned.

Some vendors tweak their nVidia-based boards making the generic drivers
less
desirable, although my experience is that this has not been a real
problem
in a few years.
