By default Windows XP Packet Scheduler reserves 20% of the bandwidth for Windows updates and other program updates.

This is false...

BTW this MSKB article states the "always reserves 20% of the bandwidth" [the phrase should be an Urban Legend by now :) ] for QoS claim is incorrect.

"Correction of some incorrect claims about Windows XP QoS support

There have been claims in various published technical articles and newsgroup postings that Windows XP always reserves 20 percent of the available bandwidth for QoS. These claims are incorrect. The information in the "Clarification about QoS in end computers that are Running Windows XP" section correctly describes the behavior of Windows XP systems."
